Check out this article about decarbonizing neighborhoods.
My favorite finding? It only works if the residents have existing social bonds.
If you haven't already, plan a block party. Whether fighting ice or climate collapse, the 1st step is a block party.

The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.
Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.
That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).
Freedom is always worth fighting for.
@maddy this really depends on where you are located but I've had great success with my local free groups (Buy Nothing, Everything is Free, Freecycle, even craigslist). I get all my spray paints, wood stain, polyurethane etc that way but usually by keeping an eye out and slowly building up a collection. There's basically no way you'll get every color you need this way (especially on a short timeline) but it might reduce what you have to get by other means.
Best of luck!
Momentous Update on the Food Rescue Program!!!
We got our first food rescue!!!! Like official. In the app! Not an adhoc one. And it wasnt me who set this up! Another organizer got our first grocer. I put the route into the app and opened it up for volunteers.
And a community member picked it up!!!!!
We are rescuing food from a grocer and delivering to a free fridge!
Calling it: November 14th of last year (2024) - to now (June 10th 2025). 7 months from idea conception to a formal route / food rescue between a food seller and a food distributor. (With founding a mutual aid group, to growing it, to partnering with a national food rescue org - yay Food Rescue US! - to meeting with a grocer and connecting them to a free fridge all in between)
Now it's time to scale....

The underlying system is Fully Automated and like the game itself, the (currently 260+ page) campaign doc will be published libre and gratis. It's pretty system-agnostic, focusing mostly on locations, characters, and events, so it should be usable with other games (though it does use some of the excellent FA setting).
For a little over a year I've been working on a premade #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign (/manifesto on solarpunk in rural New England) where the players search a mostly-abandoned and rewilded town for industrial waste illegally dumped there 60 years ago
I'm not really the type to develop new game mechanics but fortunately I work with some very creative people who are. We'll be testing their proposed soil testing gameplay tonight at 7pm pacific time and anyone who wants to join is more than welcome!
Fully Automated! Solarpunk RPG
