This Earth Day, let’s start from where we are—by recognizing the knowledge already around us.

Free Collaborative Discussion Toolkit Activity 5.5, Identifying Knowledge in the Community, invites us to explore the expertise and lived experiences within our own communities. Why not use it to consider how we care for the planet?

As a kid I was charmed by this what-if scenario, so when someone asked about it, I answered.

(Spoiler: Jupiter is a failed star about the way that I am a failed elephant.)

I don’t “believe in” crystals, but I’m fascinated by them, and I wonder what they’re actually capable of. We know so little. What if each crystal has its own frequency, and we simply don’t have the right kind of radio to hear it? We accept infrared and ultraviolet light, we accept electromagnetism, gravity, all sorts of shit we can’t see. Quartz makes watches work. What if…?

🧐 #WhatIf we refer to a nation by its local name?

* Philippines = ᜉᜒᜎᜒᜉᜒᜈ Pilipina[s] | Filipino = ᜉᜒᜎᜒᜉᜒᜈᜓ Pilipino
* Laos = Lao | Laos/Laotian = Lao
* South Korea = 한국 (Hanguk) | Korean = 한 (Han)
* North Korea = 조선 (Choseon)
* Japan = 日本 (Nippon/Nihon) | Japanese = 日本人 (Nihonjin)
