How would you react if your child asked the question : Why is it getting bad for every living thing on the earth? Why Global warming? How did it get this bad? What exactly are we going to do about it?
And not every parent takes the question on board and turns it around by asking : and what are you prepared to give up?
How would it feel to downshift by living on half of what you own?
The story of how one family's daughter challenged her parents on social injustice and as a result followed through by selling their house, downshifting and giving the proceeds to charity to make a difference. How would you react if your child asked the question : So, how did it get that bad with the planet? This Global warming, what exactly are we going to do about it. What happens if we challenge teenagers and ask them : What are you prepared to give up?
Not an easy question to respond to.
