I feel like climate change is now inevitable even with complete industry changes and I can't do anything about it. I know not using plastic straws or reusable plastic bags don't do anything.
We all gotta appreciate how being "eco-anxious" got weaponized. Kind of like "woke" was, too. It's a major global event that's very obviously been happening in front of our very eyes for a long time now. We're still at the stages of fighting over it being a thing or not in the first place, as far as policymakers and industry goes. To top it off, things aren't getting better either. Of course it makes people anxious. Who in their right mind wouldn't?
Knowing that climate change is inevitable, I wish people would stop talking about it and at least save everyone the anxiety.
