It’s needless to say that climate change is a very scary topic that is a lot to handle. There are a lot of very bleak predictions, and even optimistic predictions will significantly disrupt humanity for at least some time.
What are your tips on how I (and many others) can cope with this?
(P.S. It’s like I make a new post every day, isn’t it?)
I don’t think individual action can amount to much. Hence now I am seriously considering working with an organisation that works on ground in the environmental sector.
Organic farms, communitarian organisations, animal rescue centres, citizens’ fora all seem to be places where you can make a genuine organised effort, while feeling more connected to nature. Bonus points if they are socialist. In fact, I’d only go if they were at least socialistic about their praxis.
During COVID, I learnt by observation that such on ground organisations are the ones that determine a neighbourhood’s resilience to a natural disaster. Hence volunteering to socialistic organisations made me feel less like I am sitting by watching the climate crisis unfold.
