yes definitely!! check FB marketplace or find a FB group for "master gardeners," its a certification/training program...they'll be able to help u

i dont own land but im hoping to volunteer at a community garden during spring next year

also, even if you dont want to garden yourself, you can always support a local organic garden, look into a CSA!

yea, i understand:/ have you considered gloves? there's some really good ones out there with great padding and comfortability

don't feel shame abt that! you can adjust your tolerance to dirt over time.

you cannot predict the future

at the end of the day, most of us in the global north are going to be okay. moping and yelling isn't going to slow anything down

engage in conservation at the local level. join a community garden, or plant your own food, if you're able. connect with those passionate and understanding about collapse. stop investing in "policy" - invest in your your resilience to catastrophe

See this piece of mine: www.desmog.com/2025/01/23/t... ..we need to be planting trees for both harsher summers AND an endless possible winter. That’s the whole point.
