McKibben’s “Do the Math” movies’ strategy for social change it very interesting and he makes a lot of good points. He starts out the film by noting that when climate change is broken down into a very simple 3-part formula its more palatable and people will be more attentive to it because it’s easy to understand.  He discusses climate change in the sense that if there’s a clear enemy in the situation and if we know what to do to put down that enemy, we have a moral obligation to do so. Climate change is only getting worse and McKibben suggest that the way we stop it is by encouraging everyone to full their stock and sell them from big oil companies. He suggests that these big competitors choke out smaller, clean-energy companies so that they don’t even have a chance. As students we can stand up to these big companies by encouraging our schools to sell any stocks, they have in these big oil companies. This will choke them of their money and force them to switch to renewable energy or to go bankrupt and let the smaller, renewable energy companies have a chance. McKibben suggests that people don’t naturally have the urge to go out and try to help the world for the better, especially if it’s not affecting them directly. So, it’s important to grasp the simple equation and really understand what it means for our world. This strategy is different from Duhigg’s because it suggests that social change will come from people congregating from complete strangers. McKibben started 350 with a few undergrads and it spread globally to people they didn’t even know. Duhigg suggests that social change comes from more specified strong and weak relationships forming and can only really occur if these relationships exist. McKibben doesn’t specify these connections being needed and more so suggests that social change can occur from groups of people pushing for it. The similarities between these two strategies for social change is that they both only work if a lot of people care and push for what needs to be changed. People taking real action.
