Kate has been inspired by the book “Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming by Paul Hawken (April 18, 2017)”, to educate people about these and other hopeful solutions to stop and reverse climate change. She spent several years researching scientific information and ethical issues to answer her own questions about how our climate is created, and how it can be maintained and healed to sustain human and the great diversity of other life here for long into the future.
She produced the following talk and song for the 350 group (Western Massachusetts) Climate Action Now soil series in 2020 drawing on her research. Her research also informs her songwriting for the climate healing chorus and band.
Our Climate Healing Plan
Climate healing goals we have implemented over 15 years to reduce our emissions:
Dreams still to be implemented:
1. install more solar panels to provide more power for heating.
2. adding heat pumps as needed/afforded.
3. installing a battery backup.
4. more insulation in the walls.
5. a bigger solar car/truck to carry more band gear.
6. growing and storing more food, more efficiently.
7. buying (and being content with) less to conserve and share earth’s
resources more widely.
