In 2017, a group of knitters got together over a shared worry: that government climate data might disappear.
Nine years later, they've built a global movement - turning local temperature records into hand-knit tapestries like the gorgeous ones you see in the video.
Some are knit with inspiration and data from Ed Hawkins' warming stripes.
In this episode Climate Actually, host Kimberly Nicholas talks to Emily and Asy from The Tempestry Project about how a knitting circle became a climate movement, and why building climate community is one of the highest-impact actions in the SHIFT guide. They share ideas on how to start a climate community.
Building community can help us individually sustain motivation and prevent burnout. Even better: *community is how structural change happens.*
