Just don't try so hard!
Chill out. Feel the wind on your skin. Talk to a stranger about flowers. Relax.

Treat it like the first month of Pokemon Go (except maybe not actually play it, heh). The first month of Pokemon Go was pretty much the closest we’ve ever come to world peace...
 

Possible topics for ice breaking -
- Improving your community

- Finding and supporting Progressive Leaders

- Restoration opportunities in your area
- Favorite type of dinosaur (all Sauropods - they will never not blow my mind)
- Favorite shade of purple (all of them)
- Local volunteer opportunities and organizations (anywhere from gardening to search & rescue and so many more – possibly start something new)
- Interesting things within your area. Locations, events, groups, especially those kinds of things where you could live in an area for twenty years and magically just not here of something right around the corner. Simply share!

- Consume less during (prepare snacks, share picnics)
- “How do we organize to improve our lives?”

Productive and proactive conversations

Organize, mobilize, discuss proactive and productive ideas. Some of you have got to try leading. There are many forms of leading. Not all of them involve standing at the podium up front.

 

Folks just don’t know how to organize and get it done.

So wear green and blue while walking around and hanging out with random green and blue wearing locals. Talk about making your own lives and your own communities better. You might have more options than you initially realize.

Maybe it will be a community garden. Maybe it will be rewilding some run down and now unused property. Perhaps you might even find some folks to start a cooperative with.

Might as well start by saving yourselves. If your lives improve you’ll have better conditions to then help other people save themselves. Who can then help you for the next round of making even more peoples lives better...

And remember – A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
