The Eco Chapter creates and facilitates content, bespoke writing workshops, fact-checking, greenwashing prevention, reflective prompts, training material, articles, guided meditation & yoga sittings, and group discussion & sharing sessions to better understand the plight of the planet, and our roles as planetary stewards.
In other words, empowering change through eco-literary activism.
There are links between the climate crisis, human inaction, and language. The sustainability movement has failed to achieve behavioural change. Greenwashing and continuation of business as usual are rampant. But - we can take grassroots action through inquisitiveness and analysis...
…and words.
So, at The Eco Chapter, language is used to challenge current narratives, influence the mental infrastructures of growth, question introspectively, and promote alternative lifestyles in order to create change as individuals.
Words have the power to cultivate empathy, shift mindsets, and ultimately transform values, systems, and societies.
Words have the ability to name deep-rooted causes of unsustainable behaviours, allowing for long-lasting solutions rather than superficial ones.
Words have changed our world.
Once again, words can change our world - for the better.
