The more I see reports like this the more, hopeless I feel. Sometimes, I get to a point where I’m not even depressed but deeply numb by the catastrophe that is happening. Mass insanity we see, mass insanity.

We better get to it.
Business as usual will more than likely make WW2 look like a trip to your favorite vacation spots.
The things the we can’t do that crowd are worried about will not matter because those things will no longer exist. This will destabilize or collapse every nation on earth.
The can do right now things aren’t even huge sacrifices. They will actually save you money:
Those things aren’t going to come close to fixing everything, but they buy valuable time for big changes that take time to implement like renewable energy to happen.
In other words: Eat more plant based:
Drive Less:
Cut food faster:
Buy Less Stuff:
No sense in being a doomer when we can at least have a sliver of personal agency. (Of course, large-scale and policy-driven changes will make the most impact)
My knee jerk reaction to this has always been to say that these individual actions are inconsequential compared to what mega corporations and multinational companies are doing to pump the majority of pollution into our environment.
But I no longer think that … I think you are correct.
If we all collectively did this … If we all or the majority of us followed through with everything you suggested, it would have a major effect with the economy … if it has an effect on the economy it would affect corporations … and if it affects corporations, they lose power and are forced to produce less or even die off.
Corporations exist because of our small collective contributions … the things we buy, the services we purchase, the things we consume … if we collectively stop doing all that or cut it down significantly, it would starve the beast. In an economy of perpetual growth, even just a tiny dip caused by less consumption would be enough to destabilize a major corporation.
If we all just simply bought less or just ate less … it would kill off so many useless corporations.
I’ve come around to your logic and I eat less, consume less and completely avoid fast food.

i think your first line is the most correct. you can prove me wrong by convincing everyone in that facebook group that actually they should do what you said.
I don’t have any power over anyone, nor do I want to … I only have power over myself
