Climate is a relationship.

And just like any relationship, who you are matters. And that's where the Earth Archetypes come in handy. They show 5 ways to be in relationship with nature.

Of course, the goal is not to put anyone into a box. But if you are wondering "What can I do about the climate?" Or perhaps, "What can I even SAY about climate?"...

I have an idea that could support the planet but need help sharing it. *

Yes

Great! You have just done the hardest part – gotten started!
Now, you'll get a quick scenario and 5 different ways you might handle it. Pick whichever one feels most like something you'd actually do. There's no right answer — just go with your gut.

You’re on a date and it’s going well. Then somehow you wax poetic about composting. What's your move? *

Immediately fact-check yourself out loud and can't stop.

Connect it to something the other person already mentioned caring about.

Turn it into a genuine question. "Do you compost too?"

Lean all the way in and make it sound romantic.

Let the silence sit, smile, stay easy about it.

Three different "eco-friendly" versions of the same product all claim to be the better choice. What's your move? *

Pull out your phone and look up which one has the better footprint.

Skip the labels and check which one is sourced or made closest to home.

Text a friend who'd actually know and go with whatever they say.

Pick based on product story or design.

Notice which one you keep circling back to and go with that.

Your group chat is spiraling about climate news again — doom, rage, repeat. What do you do? *

Drop a fact-check and link the source.

Remind us we built the system and can rebuild a new one.

Suggest everyone actually meet up and talk about it in person.

Reframe it: “What if this is the moment before things shift?”

Crack a joke so everyone can exhale for a second.

You're about to share something climate-related (post, comment, video, etc) and you pause right before hitting send. What happens next? *

Double-check the source one more time before it goes anywhere.

Think about the one person who actually needs to see this.

Write it like a letter to a friend.

Look for the angle that will land emotionally.

Hit send on what feels true to you and allow it to land.

Once people find out you care about climate, it becomes the only lens they see you through. They forget you're a whole person who also dances, codes, bakes, etc. What's your move? *

Ask them straight out, "What do you think I'd say about something that has nothing to do with climate?"

Map the issue with one relationship worth fixing: "You only ever ask me about climate, what's actually going on with you?"

Invite them to do something that expands their view about you.

Inject the conversation with imaginative left turns and parody.

Feel the tightness of being boxed in and say lightly "Can we not talk about climate tonight? I just want to hang out"

A family member brings up climate at the dinner table. What's your first move? *

Ask a genuine question: "Wait, where'd you hear that?"

Connect it to something they already care about.

Turn to the table and ask: "What does everyone else think?"

Tell a story instead of making a point.

Take a breath and feel your feet under the table before saying anything.

Someone thanks you warmly for caring about climate, then makes it clear they don't want to be part of it. What's your first move? *

File it as information about where they are right now.

Start looking for what's behind the pattern.

Move toward the people who are ready.

Picture the moment as a seed and let that image replace the sting.

Process the hollow feeling then move on.

These last 3 dig deep into the Earth Archetypes vault. Pick whichever answer feels most true, even if none feel exact.

What if trash didn’t exist? *

Wonder what it's actually made of and how long it really takes to break down.

Explore foods labeled as waste (weeds, bone marrow, day olds, etc).

Double check if you’re sorting garbage right.

Imagine if it could be reused as something else entirely.

Try new rhythms of movement for materials in your life.

Where does climate innovation come from? *

Notice your relationship with the natural world such as breath exchange.

Connect the dots between scattered experiments already in motion.

Look at what your community is already innovating.

Play with the vibrancy and diversity found where elements intersect.

Tune into your ancestors.

How do I care without it breaking me? *

Name exactly what you’re feeling (grief, rage, awe) without judging it.

Turn one daily habit into a vote for the system you want.

Let singing or chanting hold you in community or solo.

Close your eyes and hold the image of the world you’re building.

Let your heart break open and trust what comes after.
