We Can Remake The World

2021 may not have been the year we imagined. So what? There is still so much potential to be found, even more so during difficult times. Today we take a look at some of the inspiring work our past guests have done to adapt and not only survive but increase their impact over the last two years. Just as our guests have done, each of us can rise to meet this current challenge and contribute positively to our communities locally and globally. There is never a time to act as though we have no power to make positive change - opportunities are all around us. Now more than ever. Join us for our final episode of the year as we look back and prepare to make 2022 the best it can be.

The stories we tell define who we are and how we see the world. What stories are we telling ourselves about the relationship we have with Nature, and how are these stories impacting our approach to the world around us? Join us for a conversation with filmmaker Sam Rose Phillips, who shares what she's learned by telling the stories that inspire her. Stories centered around conservation (with Sea Shepherd), wildlife protection throughout western Canada, and a growing grassroots movement led by indigenous communities to reshape our place in the world. Sam encourages us to learn from Nature and to approach difficulties with thoughtfulness and curiosity rather than fear and urgency. How we choose to respond to difficult questions makes all the difference.

We can do better. Sounds obvious, right? So why don't we? As we get closer to the end of the year and begin to reflect on 2021 and all that we've experienced, it's time to start thinking about the path we want to be on moving forward. Some things we can't control but there's so much that we CAN do. Nathan explores some of the keys mindsets that will take us from where we are to the world we want to be part of. 1) Believe we can do better. 2) Be constructive with our dissatisfaction with the way things are. 3) Own our power. With these three simple shifts, we can take the first major steps toward transforming our world into something we can be proud of.

As big as our problems seem the solutions are closer than we think. We don't have to start from scratch to transform our world. All it takes is an attitude of inventiveness - to look at our current world and everything we have available to us, and then to reshape our current systems for the better. There are examples of people who have done this all around us, including the guests on our show. People who are ending hunger in local communities, who are putting a stop to plastic pollution and transforming fashion into an industry which supports workers, wildlife, and the planet. What kinds of problems do you see that you want to help solve? What can you do today to imagine better and then take action to help build a better world?

Every life matters. In Nature, nothing is insignificant. Every member of an ecosystem is needed to help that community thrive, yet as humans we often pretend like we are the only ones who matter. There is a lot that the natural world can teach us about caring for each other and our planet. Today we're joined by Melissa Sciacca, US executive director for the globally-respected David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust based in east Africa. The Sheldrick Trust manages large areas of land in Kenya, protecting elephants and rhinos from threats like poaching, and caring for orphaned wildlife before releasing them back into the wild. Melissa gives us a window into the experiences of African wildlife, what we can learn from them, and how we can ensure that these beautiful animals continue to grow in numbers for generations to come.

Learn more about the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust at https://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/.

CHALLENGE: Adopt a species. Pick an animal you love and learn more about the challenges they face and how we can protect them. Take action in whatever way makes sense to you, and share what you learn with others.

TAKEAWAYS: 1: We are all members of a global community, and if we can act from that understanding we can change the world. 2: There is a lot to learn from Nature and the animal kingdom which could help us rethink our world for the better. 3: You can be an ambassador for the causes you care about.
