Climate WHAT??

When someone says to you, "HOI! This climate change thing... does it BUM you out?", do you say "Climate WHAT?? Like, what are you saying, like yesterday it was, like, so hot and all, today is kewl and all, like, like that? Can I, like, GO now?" and look around frantically for the quickest route away from this pest asking you such, like, questions and all? Dude ... and dudette! It's basic, ya know? You need to know what it is! What it's doing! Why you should, like, CARE! And, what YOU can ... HEY! COME BACK HERE!

Connections!!

Division is killing us. We need to connect things. Or else, we end up like not five, but fifty un-informed persons trying to describe an elephant! Why do our curricula not actively promote connections among all subjects being taught at schools and colleges?

Me and my big sermons!

There are some simple things we can each do to reduce our impact on the environment... and therefore, on climate change. I admit that I practice several, but not all. Not yet. I am trying to get there. So, don't think I am preaching to you from on high! It is merely a question of reminding ourselves to do these things.  And then following through.

"If you waste water, you waste wealth... "

... my mother always used to scold me when I was young. I used to throw water outside our house on all four sides in the summer to cool the house in the evening. I used to resent it then. What did SHE know? But now I listen to her... in my heart.

Talking the talk, Walking the walk

To act on climate change, we must first be able to talk about it. For this we need words. Where are these words for Indian languages? What is CSM gonna do about it?
