    I planted 3 trees this week and have been making biochar in winter when fire restrictions are lifted.

    I’d like to point out that “do what you can” doesn’t even necessarily mean trying to prevent or impede climate change directly. It can also mean building community and providing comfort and protection from the worst effects of climate change to the people you care about.

    I’d classify myself as a “reluctant doomer”. I try to minimize my environmental impact and encourage others to do the same, but privately, I think we’re fucked. I act like my assumptions are wrong, though. I hope I am.

      You should research, since this is an oil industry astroturfing lie that has taken hold and it is devastating as you can see. You may drop the doomer part and prevent the spread of misinformation as one of your environmental care tasks

    Doing what I can still basically feels like doing nothing anyway. Like when you finish a mission in Helldivers and it shows how much your team contributed to the total effort.

    The tare machine: “You have used a reusable bag for a decade and recycled every recyclable object you bought after using it until it was unuable. You have decreased the effect of climate change by 0.00000000125%.”

    Me: Yay! I’m helping! 🥹

    Idk, people who were safe in western states called me a doomer and got mad at me for my sadness being unproductive while a hurricane killing people and flattening neighboring towns. No one is an effective activist 100% of the time, maybe let people grieve for five seconds.

    I just want people to go vegan because it’s so easy, healthy and the right thing to do if you dare to look at it. Simply the most powerful powermove any random chad can do instantly.

      Some of my fellow punks do not agree. They want this peaceful utopia for themselves, but not their fellow earthlings. Burning lush forests, polluting delicate ecosystems for feed, slitting throats in chains by the billions in factories of misery, exploitation and annihilation.
      Every single one of you can end a tiny bit of this horror instantly. A true chad does what they can, until they like a taste too much.
