Climate and clean-energy communication is filled with numbing jargon and complexity. But clarity is needed to connect and empower. A simple writing tool might help.
Thanks for the excellent Up-Goer Five example about climate change. I use that platform, too, in my graduate Translational Ecology course at Utah State. Your text flows a lot more smoothly than my description of a rare plant project, largely because "plant" is not one of the ten hundred words. I end up with "green things that grow in the ground."
I'd love to know who else is using it, particularly in teaching. The constraints are deeply vexing (ENERGY... ) but a great challenge, and a way to build a certain mindset. thanks for posting! Hope you can share the piece widely.
Here's another simple approach. Strip out all the theory, and boil it down to a single real world action.
Urge your readers to all become vegetarians. That's a simple direct action each of us can take that makes a meaningful difference. If a reader declines to make this simple change, they aren't ready for your newsletter.
If nothing else, presenting this challenge will help your readers better understand their relationship with climate change.
