Another thing that Naomi Klein said during her talk in Stockholm in November, was that we have to remember love. Research is necessary for understanding what is happening, but no science in the world can make people change. Love is. Love for our people, for our homes. Love for Earth.
And love creates passion. And passion ignites agency.
I love cooking for people. I take care to use good ingredients, and I spend time on making the food, or the cookies, or the candy as good and as pretty as I can, because that is how I show the people that I love that I love them. And I think that is something you can taste. Food cooked with care and love is so much better than any other food.
I spent most of Christmas and New Year’s cooking for family and friends. It filled me up.
I think one of the necessary steps of turning our world toward a more sustainable trajectory is making people care more about the everyday things. Like food. How it’s produced. And shared. Finding that passion. And using it for the things and the people that they love.
