Earth Day and a Values Revolution
A Homily for the First Unitarian Church of Victoria
21 April 2024
Retired UVic professor Trevor Hancock will explore the shift in our societal values that is needed to truly and deeply confront climate collapse. Trevor has written in the Times Colonist that faith communities have a key role to play in exploring and discussing new ethical frameworks that reflect and uplift the values of human solidarity, quality of life, and ecological sensibility.

Enough is enough: Towards a Wellbeing economy and a One Planet region
Cordova Bay 55+ Club, 18 April 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKAgSfzbpn0
We live on a small planet, a blue dot, in Carl Sagan’s words, and it is the only home we have. Yet we are living well beyond the Earth’s carrying capacity and transgressing multiple planetary boundaries, while at the same time creating massive inequality – some are calling this a polycrisis. It is a truism that every system is designed to achieve the results it gets, so it seems our present economic system is designed to achieve these results. To get a different result, we need to change the economic system, and the underlying societal values that drive it. That realisation is the basis of a growing movement to create a wellbeing economy and a Wellbeing society. We have to learn how to live a One Planet way of life, and locally, to create a One Planet Region. These are the themes of my presentation
“Healthy Lethbridge means healthy people in a healthy society on a healthy planet”
The Imagine Lethbridge Forum, 24 May 2022
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkBmoZ8ceWk
The concept of healthy communities has been around for centuries, but was given its modern form with the advent of WHO’s Healthy Cities initiative in 1986. From the outset it was clear that the health of the city’s people requires healthy physical and social environments; community engagement and strong intersectoral partnerships; and public and private sector policies that create such conditions. Only then can people be expected to make healthy choices and be supported in leading healthy lives. While these remain the basic requirements, much has changed since 1986. In particular, we have seen growing inequality, both globally and locally, which undermines people’s sense of wellbeing and can result in the ‘diseases of despair’. We have also seen a growing awareness of climate change and other massive and rapid global ecological changes that also threaten health, both globally and locally. If Lethbridge is to “achieve equitable health and social outcomes now and for future generations, without destroying the health of our planet”, it must address these challenges. In this discussion I will discuss these challenges and suggest some of the ways in which cities can become healthy, just and sustainable ‘One Planet’ cities.

Dr. Hancock begins by explaining the word “Anthropocene,” the term geologists now use to describe this current geological age, so named because the harmful ecological footprint of human beings has been so catastrophic that it will appear in the geological record. The Anthropocene, Hancock explains, is about far more than just climate change. While detailing the salient scientific information underlying the term Anthropocene Hancock also helps us to see that not every human being shares equally in creating harm nor suffers equally from environmental harm. High-income countries such as Canada have been living as if there are three or four earths, not one. He then reminds us of the “think globally, act locally” notion and how this way of thinking is being implemented in the One Planet Living movement, most particularly in the ongoing experience of One Planet Saanich. Though Dr. Hancock delivers challenging information about the ecological crisis his presentation is ultimately hopeful. Throughout, he conveys a conviction that we can make the changes that need to be made and that, indeed, faith communities are essential in helping us transition to sustainable living.
