    Try to do better than the average human: Try minimizing your personal footprint, participate in some nature related NGO, etc.

    Only by acting can we escape this feeling of depression and discouragement 💪.

      I get that, and I do my part,… but I recognize the reality that the majority never will, and that’s the depressing part.

      I, you, everyone you know, everyone they know and their kids could recycle, buy an EV and be a saint, sipping solar from their rooftops until they’re 70, and the world would still burn like a matchstick in thirty years.

      It’s industry, law and utilities that really desperately need the change. Power stations and infrastructure, monetary investment, even.
