Gritty Optimism: Hope in the Face of Climate Change

• October 2022
Climate change, in a word, is scary. With rising temperatures and surging climate disasters like melting glaciers and raging wildfires, it is easy for a sense of doom to take hold. Despite this, Trevor Slansky, a recent Austin College graduate with a degree in environmental studies, asks that we suspend our disbelief and face our changing climate with a gritty optimism. How has the human race come together to save our world before? How can we do it again? As someone who has dedicated his professional life to taking personal responsibility and joining the forces of climate activism, Trevor urges us to do the same. Can you become the hope the world needs?
