The Compression Thinking Series
Hear Podcasts; Join in Teleconferences
Compression Thinking seeks what we must do to address all environmental issues, including those that may yet not be identified. Most environmental organizations focus on one or two. But we have to deal with all the issues, and that stretches human capabilities. We have to learn to think differently.
None of us, including Doc Hall, are through this conversion in thinking. Collectively, we have to learn to see outside our old conventions and approach problems differently. Over time Doc, concocted four Guidelines to Compression Thinking that have helped him. Perhaps they will help you.
The Compression Thinking Series is 12 podcasts and 12 follow up teleconferences. Podcasts #2, #4, #5, and #6 address each of the four guidelines of Compression Thinking. Topic #3, “Lawns and Biodiversity,” illustrates how Compression Thinking alters how we see an activity with which most of us are familiar, cutting grass.
Teleconferences:
You are invited to all teleconferences. The Compression Thinking Series will be at 8 pm Eastern on Tuesdays, beginning on February 4, 2020, continuing each Tuesday evening for 11 weeks thereafter. No teleconference will last more than 2 hours, even if discussion is lively.
