Doing ecology together

“Don't vilify young environmental activists. Get radical: look for the root of the problem. Then join them. » Today we are in a "strange transition", announced but not yet started, which locks us into a painful in-between period of history. In this period of uncertainty, a so-called generational war is emerging between boomers who minimize or even deny the scale of the climate catastrophe, and young environmental activists, often accused of impatience or extremism. An activist of the “climate generation”, Léa Falco demonstrates in this concise and effective essay to what extent this artificial generational divide allows for the maintenance of a deadly business as usual, while fundamental questions accumulate: how to build ecological transformation? Where, with whom, against whom? It offers a framework for reading this transformation, and tactics to adopt as a citizen, in one's professional life or in one's political commitments. Because the time has come to “do ecology together” to build a sustainable society.
