ABOUT RETHINK SOCIAL LIFE
Climate change is in large part a result of the way in which we – particularly those of us living in the Western world – live and organize our lives. Social practices that rose in the 20th Century to become widespread and orthodox to all levels of Western society, such as the immoderate consumption of manufactured goods, motorized transportation, tourism, and the ever-increasing demand for energy, are all key factors in the current climate challenge. This raises the question of what role we as individuals can play, in either countering or exacerbating the current climate crisis.
How can we as individuals begin to comprehend the often abstract threat that climate change poses, and what we can do about it? How do we create participation and civic involvement? And how does climate change affect our understanding of ourselves, as individuals? We here encourage you to read about and discuss how climate change in any thinkable way will interfere with our society in general and how we personally live our everyday lives.
