In this episode, I’m joined by Bonnie Wright - actress, filmmaker, environmental activist, and author of Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet - who shares how to address climate change in an approachable, conscious way and highlights what gives her hope for the future of our planet. 

When it comes to climate change, It’s easy to feel like no matter what you do, it won’t make a difference. But, the reality is that everyone can take small steps that ripple out into a greater impact. Bonnie and I discuss ways to practice sustainable activism, especially as it relates to community and organizing around the climate crisis and how by working together, we can make powerful progress.

Go Gently isn’t your typical book on climate change but rather an invitation to slow down and take inventory of your habits. Bonnie shares how this project came to life, her inspirations and dreams for the future, as well as what helped her work through the moments of self-doubt along the way. She also shares what helps her stay focused and break through creative blocks.
