Communicating the Anthropocene is an art and a science. Environmental communications are one of the most underutilized solutions we have for rising to meet the spiritual and cultural nature of our environmental crises.

Sara Lopez is a social entrepreneur, creator, artist, writer, and culture worker. Along with Gabriel Alvarez, she co-founded The Jungle Journal, an online platform with an annual print magazine, and together they share stories about cultures and people that go unnoticed and unheard.

How do we shift culture? How do we rebuild trust in each other, and the capacity to imagine and express? How do we shape stories that energize them to fight, love, or care? This conversation explores storytelling and the role of media in reconnecting with the Earth.

Fossil fuel narratives seep into our culture, media, politics, and minds, and it can be hard to extricate them from our lives. Fortunately, we can create our own hopeful narratives of possible climate futures that run like fast-moving rivers from person to person.

Grace Nosek is a climate justice scholar, community organizer, and storyteller. Grace has spent years studying and deconstructing the narratives and tactics of the fossil fuel industry - as well as creating her own hopeful climate narratives.

We can find the veins and rivulets of care that already exist in the growing climate movement, and together rewrite the future.

Art has often been disregarded in climate and justice conversations, but creativity is essential for the revolution towards a regenerative and caring reality. Our environmental disillusionment can be a slow erosion of imagination, day by weary day, and artists have a powerful role to play: making space to feel grief, sparking imagination, knitting people together in solidarity and shared experience, and rekindling a belief in what is possible. Guest Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer is an artist and illustrator who is creating a more just and caring world, with art as a powerful medium to communicate climate messages and build community.

From the wonder of watching tiny, wild critters to the grand, complex world of international environmental research, this conversation spans worlds. It navigates the often-separate disciplines of science and stories, threading them together. Scientist and professor Kai Chan and host Alice Irene Whittaker discuss our responsibilities on Earth, heroic action, the value of nature, the connection between culture and conservation, what it is really like to work on those international climate reports, and rewilding a beautiful planet.

There is a haunting beauty to the discarded massive objects like ships, planes, cars, and phone booths that sit in waste graveyards around the planet. These relics of the past and symbols of our disposable culture are spotlighted in Scrap, a new documentary by filmmaker Stacey Tenenbaum, who tells the stories of the human beings who have relationships with these objects at the end of their useful life. This episode talks about witnessing what happens to the mammoth waste that we create and discard, and delves into the lost arts of repair, reuse, and restoration that people are reclaiming in the burgeoning circular economy.

Aditi Mayer joins Reseed to help reimagine the fashion system to be rooted in justice and environmental care, while advocating for the reclamation of culture.

Music can help us make sense of, and deeply feel, our climate grief. Tamara Lindeman of The Weather Station discusses her acclaimed 2021 album Ignorance about climate grief which struck a chord with citizens and critics alike. Tamara joins Reseed for a conversation that spans selfhood, rootlessness, connection, the heartbreaking beauty of birds - and the role of artists is helping us process, feel, grieve, and reimagine.
