## Resource

Is local activism just a cute distraction, or is it the most vital layer of human survival? Charlotte Binns, Director of Sustainability for the Village of Irvington and a dedicated community organizer, explores why the most effective response to global crises, from climate change to social isolation, starts right on your own block. Binns argues that while working at scale can be disheartening, the local level offers tangible impact, agency, and the deep relationships that make life worth living. 🤝 Team Human is proudly supported by Groucho.
