We Can All Be Climate Champions: A Reflection on Sangeeta Waldron’s Inspiring Journey
We can all make a positive difference to help tackle the climate crisis. We can all be climate champions.
These words set the tone for a remarkable conversation I had with Sangeeta Waldron on the Brave New Girls podcast. As the founder of Serendipity PR and author of What Will Your Legacy Be?, Sangeeta is on a mission to inspire us to create a sustainable future. Her book features insights from 36 global changemakers across diverse fields—from science to food, media, and the arts—illuminating how each of us can contribute to reversing the damage humans have inflicted on our planet.
A Blueprint for Action
Sangeeta’s book isn’t just a compilation of expert opinions; it’s a call to action. It outlines practical steps to live sustainably while fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life. The voices in her book—from NASA scientists to indigenous leaders—are a testament to the collective wisdom that’s crucial for addressing the climate crisis. By weaving together their perspectives, Sangeeta provides an inclusive narrative that highlights the role of women, particularly women of color, in shaping this critical conversation.
The Power of Awareness
One of the most compelling messages from our discussion was the idea that legacy begins now. Every choice we make—from the clothes we buy to the food we eat—leaves a lasting impact. Sangeeta reminds us that awareness is the first step toward change. Her book challenges us to be mindful of our actions and their ripple effects, urging us to be not just followers but proactive participants in the movement for sustainability.
Reclaiming Indigenous Wisdom
Sangeeta emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with indigenous knowledge systems. As she points out, science is increasingly validating the environmental wisdom of indigenous communities, which have long understood the principles of sustainability. Whether it’s through preserving mangroves or promoting traditional farming practices, these communities offer valuable lessons for a world grappling with climate change.
