Ripple Effects: How to Convince Your People to Live More Sustainably

Second Nature

Can you convince others to take climate action without being a nag? When you do what you can live sustainably, there inevitably comes a time when you want to spread the gospel and share your practice with others. It's a fantastic way to expand your low-carbon impact, but how do you communicate with people in a way that they'll actually be receptive to?

On this episode, you’ll hear:

• Unique ways that our listeners are sharing their climate practices with people in their lives.
• A way to invoke action for anyone who cares about climate.
• Alyssa Barber shares techniques and tips she's used to build a community of hundreds of thousands of people who care about climate.
• How solar panel installation is a lesson in community climate action.
