We have all heard the doomsday stories about plastic oceans, burning forests, and pervasive global hunger. They’re all true. And most of us have agreed we need to do something about it. While we haven’t agreed on who the “we” is, for the purposes of a timely and successful movement, let’s assume it’s everybody, in some capacity: businesses, governments, civil society, and individuals. Every member of the “we” is necessary, albeit with varying styles of engagement.
Incentives for participating in the climate movement run the gamut, from political, to monetary, to emotional, to social. Some groups may be self-motivated by outrage, fear, or moral purpose. Other groups may require a stronger, more consequences-oriented approach. Suffice it to say, everyone has their price. It is our job to figure out the most effective currency.

Adam Met of AJRMore than anything, I want to play shows again. I want to go to sleep in one city and wake up in the next. I want to find the best dumplings in San Francisco and the best pierogi in Pittsburgh. I want to feel the bass amp rumbling through a massive arena. But most of all, I want that energy; the energy of thousands of fans screaming our lyrics at the top of their lungs. If only there was some way to harness that energy. I can’t imagine a more renewable energy source than the palpable excitement at a concert.
