Interested in human sustainability on planet Earth? Longtime environmental journalist and songwriter Andrew Revkin is spearheading a new initiative on communication and sustainability at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. The initiative itself is called SUSTAIN WHAT. On Sunday, April 12, 2020 – and, it appears, for more Sundays to come – Revkin will be hosting a weekly weekend Unbroken Circle song and story swap beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT (14:30 UTC; translate UTC to your time). There also appear to be interviews with sustainability experts scattered throughout the week; you’ll find a playlist of recent sessions here. Revkin describes SUSTAIN WHAT as:

… a global online conversation identifying solutions to the complicated, shape-shifting and epic challenges of humanity’s Anthropocene moment.

For those who don’t know, the word Anthropocene is being used by some scientists to describe our Age of Humans, what we here at EarthSky sometimes call the Human World.

Revkin describes the Sunday morning Unbroken Circle song and story swaps as a way to:

… boost spirits and build cohesion amid distancing so that the circle of community is unbroken. Guests have included an array of musicians, writers and other creators. And the key guest is always YOU. Send in requests for songs, your own observations of positive steps, and – most important – share word of this gathering or make your own!

I sat in on last Sunday’s Unbroken Circle, and it was very interesting as well as lots of fun. I plan to listen in again this Sunday morning.
