What about you? Want to join us? <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=05cc0db54a&e=229f6020b9> Dear Greg, This year is Post Carbon Institute’s 20th anniversary <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=6a1f4416ef&e=229f6020b9> . It’s quite a landmark for an underdog think tank, and I wanted to do something meaningful in celebration (plus it’s Earth Day!). Over the last two decades, I have done a lot to reduce my ecological footprint, protect ecosystems, and promote sustainability and resilience, especially in the realms of conservation biology and ecological economics. But there’s always more to do, right? So I thought I’d use this anniversary as a kick in the butt to level up my environmentalism and become a more engaged member of my community. I also want to invite you to come along for the ride and challenge yourself to increase your engagement. Given all the combined environmental and social crises we collectively face (what PCI is calling the Great Unraveling <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=bad457e5ec&e=229f6020b9> ), there’s a huge imperative and plenty of opportunities to change our thinking, behavior, and institutions for the better. Those of us with an ecological and prosocial worldview can set an example for others in our communities who may be looking for guidance. I've written more about my personal take on this challenge in a post for Resilience <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=3cedbde6cc&e=229f6020b9> . I hope you'll check it out and share your thoughts about what you might do to take your own activism to the next level. <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=5a66fd6a41&e=229f6020b9> DONATE TODAY <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=7669643dc9&e=229f6020b9> I hope you'll pitch in how ever you can. All of it helps—every conversation, every action, every gift.
