      But have you done anything about what you know? An individual can’t have a significant effect but collectively we can. The article suggests people join a local climate change activism group. If you can’t volunteer, donate. If you can’t donate, talk to your friends about joining. And if you can’t do any of that just try to stay alive cause you’re in a rough fucking spot right now.

        I just meant I already knew enough to be terrified. And I’m squarely in the “just trying to stay alive” category at the moment, but I try to do as many small things as possible. Even if I can’t affect big changes alone, at least I gave a fork.
