A Conversation with Tony Chicotel

On our podcast – At Home, On Air – we continue our mini-series, Changemaker Interviews, where we highlight the impact of changemakers on the quality of our lives. These individuals have challenged and changed systems, introduced new ways of thinking and told previously untold stories.

In this third installment of the series, we welcome author and climate activist, Harry “Rick” Moody. We discuss his latest book, Climate Change in an Aging Society, and explore the concept of “Eco Elders,” why hope is essential for meaningful action, and practical steps older adults can take from home. Moody challenges the paralyzing effects of pessimism and encourages everyone to “think globally, act locally” through simple but significant changes.

This discussion highlights how older adults, while more vulnerable to climate impacts, can still be powerful agents of change in addressing one of our greatest global challenges. Join us as we explore the intersection of climate change and aging, emphasizing both individual and collective action. Calling us all to action, Moody urges, "I encourage everybody to find that one thing that you can do, and do it!"

We hope Rick’s personal stories and insights will inspire you to make positive changes in your own home, life, and community.
