I'm passionate about recycling and composting, I plant trees and pollinator flowers, and I enjoy opportunities to use public transportation. But I don't always choose the pro-environmental behavior available before me. Just today, I drove my car when I could have walked. I think those of us in climate change communication and education should be honest with our own vacillating behaviors. Changing habits and applying pro-environmental behaviors can be hard, time-consuming, and even costly. Frankly, we all have our indulgences. To best encourage pro-environmental behavior means to accept, understand, and be upfront about tensions and indulgences. We should encourage the most effective, high-impact behaviors, and argue for why they're WORTH doing. I wrote an article on this for my former work home, North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE). Thanks to Jimena for helping get it up on eePRO! https://lnkd.in/gQMCX4jv #climateeducation #climatechange #climatechangecommunication #environmentaleducation #SESHformula #enviroed
