Eco-confessions

Climate change has become the climate crisis, even climate
emergency. In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon dialogues,
Rupert Sheldrake begins with an observation to Mark Vernon. He’s
noticed how people are increasingly feeling the need to confess
their carbon use and he wonders what that means. The thought
develops into a conversation about living with the anxiety of our
times where we can’t but help take part in eco-hostile
activities. But maybe this is a necessary stage. Eco-confessions
could help us to become more aware of our lives and the world
around us. They might even be a crucial step towards the freedom
required for us to re-envision the world and cosmos as enchanted
if we can be less preoccupied with guilt and more open to renewed
vitality and wonder.
