Might be a boomer take, but if you’re willing to go so far as to not exist anymore because the world is whack, I don’t think it’s an unrealistic ask to show up to a city council meeting some time, run for local office, break some stupid-ass laws and feed the homeless or go to a protest, etc. If we all woke up tomorrow and decided to make a different world, we could. I would appreciate your help in making this a better place to live for all beings, it would really mean a lot to me.

Straight up, get politically involved in your community
It might sound silly or inconsequential, but it will have an impact. Even a small impact is better than no impact.
You want a more pedestrian focused city plan to happen? More parks? More multi-family housing? Better bus lines? Get involved, talk to your city council, get your friends involved.
It might sound small, but all change starts small.
Edit: Hell a friend of mine was able to get enough people in his HOA together to get them to start looking into adding some more people focused stuff to their little community. Like adding a couple bike racks to the park in their neighborhood and blending the curbs in a bunch of places.
Rare HOA win

I have volunteered weekly for 4* years, have given speeches at protests, whetpasted posters against nazis, and attend most council meetings. Still have massive depression episodes.
Just saying that it’s not like both situations can’t be true at once, and I would argue that if you do the former the later is more likely then an average person.

Doesn’t even mention the narrative that humans (the child listeners) are harmful to the earth, part of the pollution problem, should have fewer humans, etc.
