Despite this, they are often the ones whose voices go ignored in\ndiscussions of sustainability. It is extremely important to listen to these\ngroups and learn from what they are doing to maintain their lives. We must include\nthe voices of those with first-hand experience in order to learn the true effects\nof the Anthropocene, as well as what solutions are feasible for them. I have\nseen so many band aid type solutions when it comes to climate change that are\nproblematic in essence, but also fail to take into account the culture of an area.\nJust because something sounds great on paper does not mean it will be truly\nhelpful for residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone shares the same experiences, nor do we all have the same ideas. This is where the issue of language comes in. In order to truly listen, we must work harder to understand the connotations and nuances surrounding language to better prepare for a future that we are fearful for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reading \u201cSustainability,\u201d from Lexicon for an Anthropocene Yet Unseen, reinforces a line of thought from many classes I have taken: we must engage everyone in discussion in order to create true solutions.
