I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient
How do they usually react? Or any other details you would like to share? And what is ccl?
It depends on the party. Some talk a lot. Some say how much they do to protect the climate. That is all good and part of what we want because these people must realize they want to protect the climate. Pressure is not conducive to personal change. When talking with them, we apply motivational interviewing, and our goal is to help them overcome their decision ambivalence and ambiguity towards climate action. We also come back and try to build a working relationship with them.
