How do these simulations relate to your community? Do any of them feel irrelevant to your context?
I think people could all reduce our ecological footprints by buying more fresh foods and then processed. People should educate themselves more on carbon emissions. I feel in our community we could reduce our water consumption especially when we have water restrictions. I feel like the ecological footprint and water calculator relate to my community.
How do these simulations help you (or not help you) find your place in combatting climate change?
They give everyone more of an understanding about climate change and what you could do to tackle the issue. And how you could reduce your effect on climate change.
Have these simulations changed how you think climate change should be tackled?
Yes, they made me realise I need to reduce my impacts on the environment.

Hi Rhys,
I commented on your other post, but think the conversation could continue here. Do you imagine people would be receptive to challenging the ways they exist in the world for the sake of climate change? How do think these conversations would best be approached as they require people to change their lives -- something that can often feel like a lot of work.
From the other post:
It can be hard to look at our own footprint and imagine ways to reduce it, especially when we have grown accustom to a particular way of life. What have you learned regarding how you would talk to people about climate change now knowing how difficult it is to make substantial changes to your life? What can we ask of individual people that they will be able to do without significantly changing their life? And will that be enough to impact climate change?
