As a researcher, this is not a question I have ever been asked. I am often asked about facts. How much carbon can we store by changing farming practices? Does ”nudging” people to make more environmentally friendly food choices work? It’s almost taboo to mention emotions in a professional setting and yet what most environmental researchers and communicators are working for – a better planet – is increasingly out of reach.
