This morning on a panel for Missouri State University related to #climatechange, food security & the future, I got a version of the same question I'm asked at every event:
"What can I do personally to make a meaningful difference?"
There are so many ways to answer this, but I thought it would be interesting to share the question on #Mastodon.
How do you have impact? Find hope? Take action?
@Sheril
Be politically active. Take part in protests, write to politicians, media, demand meaningful action.
Individual lifestyle choices are useful but they will be totally pointless without political action that makes the whole economic system carbon-neutral.
Without systemic political change most individuals will not have have enough options for a carbon-neutral life, and there will be too many who don't care anyway.
We need to do this as a society, not individuals.
