He has been a political candidate. He has spent decades in the climate movement trying to change policy and politics from within. Now he says: “I am very convinced now that that pathway is broken.”Tim is not walking away from democracy. He is asking us to rethink where democracy actually lives. He argues that we have placed far too much faith in elections, politicians and governments to create the transformation required – even as the evidence keeps showing us that governments are unwilling or unable to act at the scale the climate and ecological crises demand.His answer? Go local. Build community energy systems. Grow food together. Restore bushland. Create repair cafés. Share meals. Make decisions together. Create places where neighbours meet and know each other’s names. Stop waiting for permission. Because the future will not arrive through another election campaign or another promise from Canberra. It has to be built – street by street, suburb by suburb, town by town – by people practising a different way of living together.As Tim puts it: “We need to rebuild our democratic systems from the grassroots up.”That is the most important message in this week’s Sustainable Hour.→ Listen to episode 607:climatesafety.info/thesustainablehour607. . .#TheSustainableHour #TimHollo #LivingDemocracy #ClimateAction #CommunityPower #GrassrootsDemocracy #ClimateCrisis #LocalAction #CommunityResilience #BeTheChange ...
