What is the single most important thing that any individual can do to help alleviate the climate crisis?
Katharine Hayhoe is the chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy, a distinguished professor at Texas Tech University and the author of Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World.
She believes that only if we all talk about climate change will humanity take the right paths to tackle climate change.
But what if the person you are talking to doesn’t believe in climate change? Or what if they do, but they are so depressed or anxious they feel helpless?
Katharine has practical advice.
