Ways to demonstrate you are one with the planet if you are a tech worker in the Bay Area:

- Build shelters for the homeless
- Volunteer to clean up beaches
- Make your tech platform more transparent, more equitable and more accessible

Ways to NOT demonstrate you are one with the planet:

Drive 700 miles roundtrip in a rented RV to temporarily create the 10th largest city in Nevada so you can dance around while dressed like an extra from a Mad Max movie.

Just sayin', #BurningMan.

And don't get angry at climate disaster activists blocking the road, especially when trucks were driving around the road blockage via the desert on either side

@Christo70 You don't get the concept that climate activists who drive or fly across the country are part of the problem? Or that there may be a better solution to save the climate than blocking traffic and creating a miles-long traffic jam of cars running their engines?

@augieray what I get or don't get is irrelevant . Climate Crisis is destroying the ability of human life on this planet. In a miles-long traffic jam? Turn-off the engine.

@Christo70 So, let me make sure I understand your logic. Driving to Nevada from a San Francisco is bad for Burning Man attendees. But it's okay for protesters to drive from ten times further (creating 10x more waste) to protest Burning Man by creating a wasteful traffic jam. I'm an environmentalist--haven't owned a car in a decade--but I'm gonna call out so-called protesters who can't find better, more sustainable ways to get the message out and change minds.
