Fear doesn’t work, we’ve known this for decades. If we know what positive steps are being taken, then we can support those or perhaps build on them if you’re able.

What about this?: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210310-the-trillion-dollar-plan-to-capture-co2 We know corporations are a big part of the issue. Are there ways they’re being regulated?

That fear based, helpless feeling needs to be shot down when ever we see people spreading that. We need to take action, but no one is talking about what we, as a single household, can do. I’m not saying we alone can fix everything. What steps can we do and/or how can we support people who are doing the right thing?

    But there’s no need to crowdsource that info because it’s already common knowledge that “carbon footprint” and “plastic recycling” are useless inventions to make us feel like this is all our fault and if we’re good little boys and girls maybe we’ll change the world.

    It’s common knowledge that we’re all fucked and there’s nothing we can do as individuals because it’s the money that makes the rules. Money owns the media, money owns the government, money comes from killing the planet and money doesn’t want to stop.

    I’m not frozen, I’m just helpless. I don’t have money, I don’t have time, I’m in exactly the position the corporations of the world want me.
