Ledah McKellar, sustainability co-ordinator at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., and Lindsay Galway, a member of the climate action co-ordinating committee, left to right, are among those involved in the school's year of climate action. Eager participants gathered recently for a special Postcards for Climate Action workshop, and wrote messages to friends and family, as well as politicians.
"I think people have a really deep concern for the planet and sometimes they feel immobilized by their own personal ability to make change. But I feel that we could all make change in small ways, and that's really available to us," she said as she handed out supplies to workshop attendees. Mackenzie Barnett, a Phd student at Lakehead and a member of Fossil Free Lakehead, holds up one of her postcards at the workshop.
"A really important piece about being here today for me is about the relationship building. So we're not just sort of like with the same group of people maybe or doing a specific demonstration, but we're here playing and talking, and just spending some time together," she added. "We want to build strong relationships. We want to build relationships around art, and finding creativity in ways that aren't harmful to the environment and to other species."
"I really like that it starts at a personal level. It travels the trajectory through the postal system where many other people will see it … So I like the process and the pathway. I think that's really exciting, and it's kind of unknown and unmeasurable," Carpick said.Carpick supplied natural inks, stencils, cardstock and postage, guiding people through their creative processes as they worked.
