Well, the problem is not that folks emphasize one at the cost of the other. Instead, it's how one talks about responsibility and accountability. The risks with solution-ism is that it loses sight of why readily available solutions have not been implemented. #ClimateAction#ToxicPositivity
Both of these things can be true: toxic positivity in the climate movement is bad AND focusing on solutions isn’t inherently toxic positivity. Why? Because we know what so many of the solutions are, but almost none are being implemented at the speed/scale necessary & we don’t know if they will be!
