      You’re depressed but do you campaign for political candidates who support climate change action?

        Of course! I always vote for parties that have radical ideas for climate. Last summer we had a huge climate protest I was a part of.

        I also drive an electric car, use solar panels, eat meat once a week and have an energy neutral home.

        It’s the most I can do while trying to provide for my family. This shit is so depressing.

          Driving a car, eating meat and presumably living in a house that increases urban sprawl isn’t the flex you think it is.

            Right, but aside from everybody deciding to return to monke overnight, this is the most the average singular person can do to fight climate change. The problem is multipronged and societal. Westerners eat way too much meat, westerners drive way too many high emission vehicles, westerners buy too much shitty plastic crap, westerners leave every light in the house on while they have 3 screens open scrolling/gaming/background noise.
