Becoming a Solutionary | Zoe Weil

Many people feel desperate about the state of the world today. It’s no wonder because the number of negative news we hear is endless - biodiversity loss, resource depletion, increasing inequality, wars, and so on. The more informed we are, the more helpless we feel, thinking, “How can I make a difference?”
It turns out that all of us can make a difference if we take a solutionary approach to our work. No matter what you do - a biologist, a teacher, a gardener - you can tackle big issues and change your field so it is more just, humane and sustainable.
In this episode, Zoe Weil, the co-founder of the Institute for Humane Education, explains:
• Why it’s important to cultivate the culture of service in our communities
• What can local organizations do to involve young people
• Why it’s more important to change the system rather than individuals within it
• How you can solve pressing global issues locally
• How you can find a meaningful career by answering only three questions
• What a solutionary is and how you can become one yourself
