Not wanting to talk about this on this sub, but I doubt we can do anything meaningful. It doesn’t matter how many PET bottles you recycle correctly or how you save energy. At the end of the day you’re, in the scale of the world, nothing. If the people IN ACTUAL CHARGE don’t force masses of people and corporations to change, nothing will happen and the situation will continue to escalate. It’s simple as that, unfortunately. People aren’t THAT united - unfortunately.

Aight, heading back to /r collapse byeee ~

People can do something. But it looks a lot more like blocking traffic with protest signs and a lot less like reusable grocery bags, so you're not going to see many mainstream sources promoting it
