agreed. really, i suppose the next best thing we can do is just try to spread the things we do to our neighbors/friends/acquaintances too.

so easy to want to change the world but suppose its really just the "village" level that matters, maybe even less than that. #greensky

we've got basically the most powerful organization of people in the world supporting an anti-climate agenda. there's no way to avoid feeling hopeless at times; makes me feel that the approach has to be radically simple y'know? like, if this is gonna happen... at least let's get municipal composting?

"In order to generate power, you need to burn coal or gas every day for decades. Wind and solar projects, by comparison, don’t require any ongoing fuel input."

I like this quote & the graph is fun, thanks for sharing. Some parts feel like a bit of a stretch, though. Nice to think about either way
