Deepti Kannapan joins me for this episode. She’s known for her TED Talk entitled ‘ The Climate Movement Needs Your Creativity, Not Your Guilt’. The Ted Talk presents powerful insights on dealing with feelings of responsibility and guilt over climate change, the mechanics of change, and how to turn negative feelings associated with the issue into positive meaningful action. I recommend you give it a listen.
 
During this episode, we expand on Deepti’s message. Climate Change can promote a sense of hopelessness and a feeling of responsibility for the damage that has been done to the natural world. Deepti argues we are not individually responsible for damage, yet, do have a responsibility to act. Deepti lays out an action plan for those who want to make a positive change, and feel good about doing so.  

Deepti Kannapan is an artist, engineer, and climate activist in the Los Angeles area. She's the author a Fire's Ally, a fantasy novel with climate themes. She’s active with organizations such as 350.org and the league of women voters.
