We do need action on all levels of society, and we need to be treating this as a crisis.
On a local level (in the UK) there are a lot more community and Council groups being setup to try and find solutions I would absolutely recommend attending those.
Other than that, ensure your pension is invested in green and eco investments and try to fly less (maybe even drive less).
Pension, lol. I don’t know how old you are, but I wouldn’t count on pension in very few decades.
We would need to do much more than flying less, driving less and invest money. We would need to change the entirety of our lifestyles. And by now we probably need to have luck as well.
I’m barely surviving already. 😭
Time to transcend capitalism, then. It’s that or the apocalypse.
Perpetual growth mindset is absolutely a problem, maybe the root cause of this problem.
It definitely is the root cause of this problem. There’s no maybe. The faster the political center accepts this fact, the more of a hope we have of surviving this shit show.
Not sure how you get that political acceptance, without its taking way too long.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any hope of this happening.
I’m just absolutely sure that we’re not getting out of this mess unless the average centrist voter in the west stops being protective of capitalism as a knee jerk reaction.
Unchecked capitalism is the cause of all this. As long as we put money first, there’s no mitigating this. To go from a money first to a people first mindset, the average person needs to understand and accept the root cause, and reconcile with the fact that they are a large part of the problem not through their carbon footprint or waste management skills but through their political stances and voting habits.
