In the future, we'll feel really at home in the world. We will be intimately familiar with the landscape around us. We will be so in love with the places that we live that we will only take a journey when the urge to journey is really strong upon us.

I hope you're not under the impression that it's all beaches and roses, and that somehow I've moved past ever feeling despair or depression. But one thing that I would tell my younger self when I was in the midst of dark phases, is that the despair comes from the same place the problems come from.

There's been a lot of research on the ability of trees and forests to sequester carbon and how much they can sequester and different types of forests, etc. And this can be used to argue for the protection of forests, but again the danger here is that when we gauge forest health or when we instrumentalize forests based on carbon, then anything that doesn't have an obvious carbon impact gets left out of the equation.

There are two things you can do in the space between stories: nothing, or something. The danger is to, out of urgency or fear, keep doing what you have been doing in the old story.

Most of the conversation about carbon today is about fossil fuel emissions, and most of the energy of environmentalists, in the climate movement especially, is to find ways to reduce carbon emissions.

If our true being is the totality of our relationships and includes everything in the cosmos, then when we cut ourselves off from any aspect of nature, other people, we create a wound. This is painful, and we yearn to recover our wholeness.

Charles in conversation in 2019 with Russell Brand on his podcast, Under the Skin:

"Under The Skin asks: what's beneath the surface - of people we admire, of the ideas that define our time, of the history we are told. Speaking with guests from the world of academia, popular culture and the arts, they'll help us to see the ulterior truth behind our constructed reality. And have a laugh.

On today's episode of Under The Skin I'm joined by author Charles Eisenstein to discuss alternative economic systems, find out what's wrong with the current climate change narrative and how we can actually change the world, challenge the powerful and empower the powerless."

I speak about the organs and tissues of Gaia, and by that I mean forests, wetlands, all ecosystems, all biomes, as well as individual species.

We need to find another reason to live in a beautiful way and follow our heart besides "it might create big change." If you condition everything on some notion of "bigness", then you're going to skip over all of the small things that people need to be doing as a collective that none of them on their own make that much sense.
