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! πŸ₯Ή

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.

Sounds like Chad just wants praise for performative actions.

I will not engage in climate denial by pretending individual efforts can outcompete corporate & military polluters to save us from climate collapse.

You could broaden the scope of what you believe you "can" do

I think actively participating in anti-capitalist revolutionary efforts is the most meaningful thing we can do. I don’t think we can save the planet without it.

We’re going to have to choose between a few dead oil executives, or a dead planet.

All avenues are important. Effort needs to be put into what you stated, but effort also needs to be put into helping people who are living month to month make the small changes that they are able to. Not everyone is in a privileged position of being able to upend their entire world without life changing consequences.

I agree, and ... OP's meme doesn't exclude that as an option?

The climate is going to suffer, there's no doubt about that. When that happens, obviously humans will try to fix it. Why be a doomer now when you could start fixing what you can?

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

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nice work! Keep at it!

I’m hoping to plant some more trees this season but don’t know where yet. Will have to do some more scouting.

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I'm just about out of space on my property until my nursery trees are mulched for soil so I'm currently in the market for endemic natives to guerilla garden with.
