Here's today's wonderful news
about a wonderful world!
This
is part of a series of daily reminders that a more wonderful world
is being built from the actions of millions of people, each day. You'll
be offered examples to explore whenever you would like to be uplifted
and inspired, energized and reassured. This is a wonderful type of world news!
It seems obvious that we experience what we are paying attention to, so if we want more life-enhancing experiences, we should direct more of our attention to more life-enhancing news, happenings, and stories.
Also,
when we feel life-enhanced, we are radiating, broadcasting those
"vibes" outward, and others are uplifted into resonance, to some degree.
And the more of us radiating, the more others are uplifted. So joy is
service!
In
this series, we'll emphasize discovering whole groups of people who are
creating a more wonderful world, each in their own way.
You
can add things you find, for others to discover and pay attention to,
via commenting on this post, or any post in the series. You can access the entire series by clicking here: https://divinelightchurch.blogspot.com/search/label/*%20%28collection%20of%20posts%29%20A%20More%20Wonderful%20World
DAY 33
Visit
"Meet three young activists taking their elders to school on the climate crisis."
Here's an excerpt from the article about these young folks; one of the rallies they organized drew more than 100,000 people.
"Lee, Hamilton and Lin — and the other youth climate activists they organize with — call themselves the Sustainabiliteens. In the year they’ve been working together, they have organized classroom strikes, occupied a B.C. cabinet minister’s office, mounted a die-in outside the Vancouver offices of fossil fuel company Teck Resources Limited and staged funerals for their future, one of them outside of an international fracked gas conference.
"Their lives are busy with classes and exams, meetings, and interviews with journalists. They could be playing volleyball, dancing, or, as Lee laughs, 'spending a lot more time with my family.'
But 'the urgency of the climate crisis,' says Lin, 'wasn’t something that was going to wait. And I didn’t see any action happening from governments.'"
But there's more than climate change involved:
"'What’s important in a group, I think, is having trust between everybody,’ says Rebecca Hamilton."
Here's another excerpt, that they are focusing on more than climate:
"Climate change 'exacerbates other issues, and other issues exacerbate climate change,' she says. 'We’ve just really tried to make that a core pillar of how Sustainabiliteens interacts and engages with the movement.'
And this isn't just about protest rallies:
"The Sustainabiliteens are trying to move beyond just mobilizing people
for strikes, and into creating long-term organizing structures. The
group set up a school leads program to ensure high-school students
across Vancouver have access to a strong community that is taking action
on climate justice in their schools."
