Two cards lie face up during an ECOtarot reading on March 15, 2022, in an old historic building in Phoenix, Arizona. The card on the left reveals some climate-related event that will occur in the arc of my lifetime. The card on the right reveals an ability I have to help in that event.

Adriene Jenik reshuffles the cards after finishing an ECOtarot reading on March 15, 2022, in an old historic building in Phoenix, Arizona. Her goal is not to dismiss the importance of scientific reports about climate change, but rather to bring creativity into the process and give people an outlet to express their true feelings.
