Gratitude in a Changing Climate

Below are images and recordings of the four speakers who presented at our University of Montana FLAT House storytelling event, which was hosted on November 17th, 2024 at the FLAT Studio. The event was created to offer a space for University of Montana students and community members to share their environmental gratitude and feelings. 

Climate change stories are frequently full of isolation, anxiety, fear, and anger. These emotions, though negative, can actually be vehicles for empowerment and resilience. By shifting the issue to what we are grateful for and the hopes we have, we can channel negative emotions into aspirations, fostering a sense of community and collective strength.
