    Catastrophe is only one part of the climate story – The Energy Mix

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
     

    Covering climate change is a challenging assignment, not least because it often involves delivering terrible news like this past fall’s devastating flooding in Valencia, Spain.

    But as climate solutions journalists, we know that catastrophe is only one part of the climate story. As the broader Spanish public showed when it rallied to help Valencia, the climate story is also about courage, kindness, and community building.
    And that’s the part of the story that The Energy Mix comes back to each week, alongside whatever else we have to tell you about climate science and impacts. That balance has always been at the centre of our work, but never more than in this difficult moment – as disinformation flourishes, mistrust of traditional media grows, and our politics and public dialogue get more polarized.

    Every week, the small but mighty team at The Energy Mix brings you the best of stories about solutions that are being built from the ground up, by real people in diverse communities who are showing how those solutions work, and learning how they can scale up. We also know how important it is to shine a light on stories that address climate change alongside an unfolding cost-of-living crisis that is top of mind for so many Canadians right now.

    Over the summer, I was shearing sheep for someone who – after hearing that I write about climate issues – said they weren’t entirely sold on whether climate change was real. We talked about it, though I don’t think I convinced them. But the conversation went on, and they eventually mentioned their kids to tell me: “You know, it’s really scary for them. It’s their future.”

    This is why I write for The Energy Mix. Maintream media and politics show two sides pitted against each other about climate issues. But that division is less real than it seems, and we need climate news that doesn’t drive us farther apart.

    Chris Bonasia, Senior Reporter, Heat & Power Digest
    I am regularly inspired by the generosity, kindness, and resilience of people living in all kinds of communities all across the country that I meet over the course of writing a story. I believe our reporting empowers readers by sharing information and insight into how to solve climate-related problems within their own communities. That’s a powerful antidote to common feelings of helplessness and climate despair.


    Gaye Taylor, Senior Reporter, Cities & Communities Digest.
