I believe we are entering a new age, the Age of Restoration. This is the time when we must begin restoring our earth and clean up the mess we made this last 100 years of the industrial revolution. Yes, machines need to be reinvented that can lessen our impact, but mainly it’s clean-up time–and women are especially good at that, because we see the big picture, how everything is inter-connected. Nurturing one another, nurturing our planet, and nurturing our children is part of our fundamental nature. Women 50+, in particular, have enough wisdom and experience and do what needs to be done.
Women activists can be fierce, resilient and as Diane Wilson says, “unreasonable.” Now with climate change, our greatest challenge, it’s important to remember to keep our sense of humor even in the direst circumstances. I sometimes think the more accomplished you are, the funnier you tend to be, because you see all the craziness and your own place in it, and to survive you have to enjoy your life and not take yourself too seriously, especially if you are an activist. Humor is powerful. That’s why I want people to connect with good storytelling and great filmmaking. Many people don’t watch environmental films because they think they’re scary and depressing–and it’s true that some films are just talking heads telling us how bad it is. Fortunately, there are many great films with entertaining, funny characters in them, that are story-driven, and that follow someone who is full of joy and life, doing something heroic–the work that many environmentalists are doing.
