How can we effectively talk with others about the climate emergency? This week’s Noons for Now features Kitchen Table Climate Conversations (KTCC’s), a Toronto-based grassroots initiative which aims to empower people to hold conversations about climate justice that increase understanding of the climate emergency, honour emotions, spark effective actions and solutions, emphasize the power of collective efforts, and underline the need for political advocacy.
