Best Formula for Social Change: 

I believe that the perfect recipe for social change in regards to climate change is through action and refusal. In general I agree with both Mckibben and Moore. They both believe that climate change does indeed need to change, and they both express different ideas on how this can be accomplished. Both experts have been spreading their ideas to many people which I believe is the first step towards change. By continuing to fight and speak about this topic more and more awareness is raised. This step towards social change is a similarity between both experts. Mckibben shows that speaking is very important because of his nationwide campaign where he has been continuing to speak and spread awareness. Moore actually has said that telling stories can help people understand the issue, and it can lead to them realizing what is moral and immoral. Another thing that I think is important in order to get to social change is refusal. Moore brings up the idea of refusal, and I agree with it. Until people start refusing using things that are destroying the planet nothing will change. That is why I believe that people should start refusing simple things that are very detrimental. If more and more people begin to refuse things then things will change for the better, but a bunch of people have to be on board, and that is where the spreading awareness is so important.

NAYSAYER: 

Of course many people will probably disagree on the grounds that telling stories and refusal are the things needed for social change. Some people may claim that these tactics have been used in the past, but nothing has changed, and to that I say it hasn’t been done at a high enough volume. More people need to start changing in order for this to be solved.
