Can words help us out of climate despair and toward repair?

…The Symbiocene. Inspired by the Greek symbiosis, or "living with," the Symbiocene was also dreamed up by Albrecht. 

"The idea of the Symbiocene stimulates all humans to create a future where positive Earth emotions will prevail over the negative," Albrecht wrote.

Albrecht believes that "positive Earth emotions" ought to define the next era of human and Earth history, making it a time of mutual benefit between humans and planetary systems. As an imagined epoch, the Symbiocene doesn't blame all humans for climate change, nor does it indulge our sense of fatalism and helplessness. The Symbiocene hints at an imagined future. But it also captures something that has always existed: Humanity, not at the center of existence, but as part of a system that's interconnected, dependent, responsible — to other species, to ecosystems, to life.
