As listeners of Environmentality I’m sure you are aware of
at least some of the environmental issues we face as inhabitants on this
planet. Now, knowing what you know, I put this ultimatum to you (Disclaimer:
Part of this comes from the Eco-Shout
website)… You can either:
1. Find out how to change the world, how to get the skills, how
to get work and how to get active AND THEN DO IT!
or
2. Give up, embrace escapism and cultivate denial.
That’s it, they are your options. What do you choose?

It just so happens that this week, we spoke to Sarah Day, the
founder of Eco-shout, an organisation helping people to get active in the
environmental and social justice movement. Eco-shout proclaims to be a catalyst
to action for environmental and social justice and after speaking to Sarah and
seeing the resource that is the Eco-shout website, I would have to agree.
Eco-shout has a number of initiatives currently operating out
of their website which includes a
Sharehousing network for those looking to live with other people who are environmentally/sustainability
minded, an events calendar showing upcoming events to get involved with, a jobs
network you can use to find environmental/ethical jobs and an active groups
directory where you can search the database by category to find groups that might
suit your interests or passion.
I recently read one of those ‘how to be happy’ articles one
of the (many) steps to happiness was to identify one cause, the one you feel
most passionate about and dedicate yourself to helping that cause. So go on,
what are you waiting for? Happiness awaits!
To find out more about Sarah Day and Eco-shout, you’ll have
to listen to the podcast.
