Denkt ihr auch gerade, ihr würdet 2026 gerne zurückgeben wollen? Oder einfach vorspulen und hoffen, dass das nächste Jahr besser wird?

Verständlich. Sehr sogar.

Dummerweise funktioniert ja keins davon so richtig.

Was aber gegen das Gefühl der Hilflosigkeit und Verzweiflung funktioniert, ist: Aktiv werden. Selber handeln, um das System zu verbessern. Das nennt sich "aktive Hoffnung" und ist das beste Gegenmittel gegen den Wahnsinn da draußen.

Und stellt euch mal vor, wir werden alle aktiv! Würden Gemeinschaften gründen, Events und Demos organisieren, Leserbriefe und Briefe an Politiker*innen schreiben, Petitionen aufsetzen und unterzeichnen, uns in Bürgerräten und Stadtparlamenten engagieren, kurz: Laut werden und uns einmischen. Wie die Welt dann aussehen würde! 😍💚

Ideen und Impulse, wie genau ihr aktiv werden könnt - übrigens nicht nur für mehr Klimaschutz, sondern auch für eine stabile Demokratie und ein besseres Leben für alle -, findet ihr in unseren Klimaschritten auf my-friday.org. Oder ihr findet mit unserem Klimahebel-Finder heraus, wie ihr in eurem Umfeld am wirksamsten Veränderung anschieben könnt.

Los geht's!

Fixing the Climate Crisis

"According to the article: “But what all these efforts have in common is that to their many detractors, the very idea of sucking all this carbon out of the air is a diversion from the far more urgent task of radically cutting carbon dioxide emissions to begin with… More than 500 environmental groups, for instance, have signed a petition urging U.S. and Canadian leaders to ‘abandon the dirty, dangerous might of CCS,’ or carbon capture and storage, a major form of carbon removal. The petition blasts the concept as ‘a dangerous distraction driven by the same big polluters who created the climate emergency.” This criticism is directed at ExxonMobil, Chevron, and others claiming they will clean up the carbon problem. It is believed this same ruse will be front and center at COP28, the UN climate conference, to be held in Dubai, the heartbeat of fossil fuels, in a few weeks."
