Recent times have been referred to as a post-truth era as it becomes harder and harder to identify something akin to objective truth. Shifting focus from truth to meaning is very helpful when arguing over something that is ultimately up to subjective interpretation. Instead of trying to convince parties with opposing views what is and what is not truth, we should perhaps start developing ways to create new meaning in this chaotic age of overflowing information and perspectives. Finding meaning in the natural world and reconnecting our emotional selves to these elements, might be crucial to furthering climate action on an individual and societal level. Old folktales, stories, and myths might project significance, fear, awe, and love towards the living world around us and our immediate local environments.
