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.
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).
I’m barely surviving already. 😭
Christ. We need massive, global action. We need people in the west to commit to drastically lowering their carbon footprints, ideally by finding alternatives to gas powered cars and cars in general, and we need immediate action on geo-engineering. Atmospheric cloud dust, carbon capture, everything. We can’t debate the ethics and morals forever. We just desperately need to start acting.
