From natural disasters to climate change, our world is struggling. Solutions are in reach - but they can be difficult to embrace.
Fears and anxieties can turn to denial, or even resistance to sustainable change.  But what if we could reach out to them?  

We welcome Dr. Renée Lertzman, a psychologist and engagement strategist dedicated to accelerating global system change on a broad scale - through helping people turn their fears and anxieties on our world into productive and sustainable action. She is the creator of Project Inside Out, a website that can help those who seek to make change engage others through understanding one another. Today we discuss how people act when it comes to sustainability, how skeptics emerge, and how we can communicate on sustainability with people - not at them. If we can understand and listen to each other, even when it is difficult, we can make a hopeful future where our world thrives. (31 mins)
