In the midst of global climate crisis, the environmental maxim— think globally, act locally — seems to ask us to live with one ear to the ground, and one earbud to the infosphere. If the answer to globalized climate chaos is localized climate justice, then how do we scale our place-tethered actions? If we are to be plant-like, rooted in place, then what will compose the mycelial networks that help us communicate and grow together? What kind of media will compose our soils?
Future Ecologies is a podcast created to tell stories that might start to answer these questions. It sounds like art, reads like journalism, and works to spread challenging ideas and "bright spots". In this talk, we'll unpack our stand-alone series on the climate crisis, Scales of Change, and what lessons it offers us for living in the Salish Sea and imagining our future ecologies, together.
Originating in 2018 as a collaboration between a pair of audiophile friends and naturalists, Future Ecologies is a podcast about the many ways we relate to our living planet. Telling stories from the Salish Sea, across the Pacific Rim, and beyond, every episode weaves together narrative, informative interviews, and science communication, supported by evocative soundscapes and music.
