[Listen to #RadioTeco News’ episode about Wynn Bruce<\/a>.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grieving comes in all shapes and in all forms. A person can grieve the loss of a loved one, a beloved animal, a cherished friendship, a transition out of an old  job, or even so, a person can grieve climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may seem strange, but a person doesn\u2019t so much grieve climate change, but what climate change is doing to our earth. Our earth is dying, and it is the only home we have come to know. It\u2019s our only home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our planet is experiencing some of the worst effects of climate change than ever before. In this series of climate change articles, I have depicted some of the ugliest causes and consequences of climate change that are impacting the world\u2019s most vulnerable communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a desperate attempt to raise awareness, Wynn Bruce demonstrated an act of bravery on Earth Day 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday April 22, 2022, Wynn Bruce self-immolated in front of the Supreme Court. His actions \u2013 that shook the public that day \u2013 were for a grander purpose. His sacrifice of setting himself on fire was a showcase of how tragically our world is burning due to climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the immediate aftermath, the media failed to detail Bruce\u2019s actions. Not enough has been written and shared about Bruce\u2019s acts of courage and his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce, a 50-year-old from Boulder, Colorado, had dedicated himself to taking care of the environment. \u201cHe had this incredible aura about him and a twinkle in his eye,\u201d said Candice Ford, a former partner of Bruce, recalling the memories they shared. \u201cEven without knowing him I could just sense his ability to connect deeply with the earth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce and Ford dated for about three years until they both made the decision to shift their relationship into a friendship as they felt \u2018their lives were going in different directions.\u2019 But the love they shared would always remain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce\u2019s life was greatly shaped by a tragedy in his youth. He was in a car accident that killed a close friend of his, which left him severely injured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe had faced death very early on in his life, in a tragic and profound way. And that opened him up to the fragility and beauty of every moment in life and \u2026 that everybody truly has a gift and has a way to use that gift to inspire change in the world,\u201d said Ford. Bruce impacted Ford\u2019s life in more ways than one. They both shared the life purpose of protecting the earth from human impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kritee Kanko, a friend of Bruce and a founder of the organization Boundless in Motion, shared her experiences with knowing Bruce and how they worked together to create change. \u201cI knew him as a member of the community extremely worried about climate crisis,\u201d said Kanko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople felt very seen and very safe with him.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kanko is also a climate scientist working to heal those, and herself, from the tragedy of climate change. Boundless in Motion is an organization that teaches practices of various forms of healing and meditation to reflect and make intentional changes to our planet’s eco-crisis. The organization holds retreats to unveil and unleash the grief amongst the community who mourn loss over various aspects of life but more importantly, the loss of our earth due to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grief, as previously mentioned, comes in all forms. \u201cSeven years I\u2019ve been teaching, leading, grief rituals \u2014 climate grief rituals,\u201d said Kanko. \u201cI invite people to make primal sounds. Shout, scream, let out that inner anger and inner grief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce attended many of these rituals. The purpose is to find outlets to deal with the trauma and loss that is experienced due to climate change. Kanko described the rituals as \u2018ways to compost one\u2019s grief.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the grief is bottled in us, you are weighed down by it, instead of being empowered by grief, because grief is love. You don\u2019t grieve anything you don\u2019t love,\u201d said Kanko.<\/p>\n\n\n

When the grief is bottled in us, you are weighed down by it, instead of being empowered by grief, because grief is love. You don\u2019t grieve anything you don\u2019t love. – Kritee Kanko<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kanko and other teachers were a part of the movement to inspire change amongst large communities, especially people of color. Bruce was part of this movement and was motivated by his own trauma and, perhaps even, his own grief to act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His life involved much hardship, but he used those experiences to inspire and send powerful messages. While most media failed to cover the events that occurred that day, an article<\/a> by the Washington Post encompassed the true nature of his actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article\u2019s first paragraph read, \u201cHe didn\u2019t scream. He didn\u2019t run toward the nearby fountain outside the Supreme Court. He didn\u2019t cry out in pain. The fire consuming Wynn Bruce\u2019s body raged for 60 seconds Friday before it was extinguished by police, and he remained still, sitting upright on the court\u2019s famous marble plaza, his legs stretched in front of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engulfed by roaring flames, Bruce only screamed until the flames were extinguished. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see his last act as a powerful, potent scream. Even though there was an absence of physical sound because he took it on as a practice of scream,\u201d said Kanko. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWynn\u2019s action wasn\u2019t about strategy, it was about this primal, emotional scream. Wynn\u2019s action was about: Wake up! We feel this sense of disempowerment, this immense climate grief, immense racial trauma. It\u2019s like the world has stopped listening to me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His lack of sound was, almost, an embodiment of how many of us have stopped listening and paying attention. Mass media and the capitalism that rules our daily lives failed Bruce. We need to make everyone listen. Like Bruce\u2019s actions on Earth Day, his final, loud and agonizing screams to help save our planet, we must continue to scream for and with him – for the sake of our environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must grieve the loss of our planet and share the pain with our communities in order to create change. For if we compost our grief, that gives us hope for something new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
