    Help them locate resources that are working on solutions.

    Energy grid storage news, low emission building, DIY stuff have all been mood savers for me.

    At the end of the day, we are all going to die. Our species is going to die. If it’s next year because Yellowstone erupts and blots out the sun, or next week because Russia decides to go full MAD, or millions of years from now because interstellar travel lanes collapse…all we can do is the best we can with what’s in front of us.

    For me, now, that means thinking about what I can do without. It means having a bug out bag to know I can tough out a day or two away from home. It means having emergency plans in place and other options for rolling with the punches. It also means looking out for the others around me and trying to build networks that look out for each other.

    I believe the world is falling apart, but I think we have an opportunity to fall gracefully and maybe, if we are lucky, we can pass something on to the future that might grow into something new. The end likely won’t be worldwide cataclysm, so imo the best thing to do is to prepare to be mobile in a crisis.
