Stop buying so much plastic bullshit. Funkos, random knick knacks. Stop buying so much fast food. Stop driving to the end of the block. Those tips alone would probably have a observable impact if literally everyone was on board.

What if everybody did something to slow or reverse climate change? Like organize democratically to overthrow capitalism.
A better standard of living could be achieved with 30% of current production because of how incredibly wasteful and redundant capitalist production is. That leaves a ton of headroom for treats, and we can still strike a metabolic balance with our planet.

Conclusion of the article sums it up best:
“Our true responsibility is to use our choices as political agents in the world to try to shift power, take power away from the people who are blocking the transition away from fossil fuels and give it to people who will lead into a livable future,” [Genevieve Guenther, the author of “The Language of Climate Politics”] said.

I agree.
But the corporations and companies that have done most of the polluting need to clean their messes up if there’s going to be any change.You, nor my neighbor, nor any of our friends dumped so much crap into nearby rivers and lakes that everything is poisoned. The corporations and companies did it.

We should all work towards curbing climate change by learning how to build guillotines
