With every solution, and even in the title of this newsletter itself, I emphasize the number one thing individuals can do that most of us are still not doing: talk about it! Use your voice to explain why climate change matters and to advocate for climate action.

  • Don't have children
  • Don't build a house with concrete (incl foundation)
  • Public transport and cycling
  • No beef and minimize dairy products

Not having children doesn't solve anything. That's just an abandonment of the future. It directly harms people who need help - the elderly, those with disabilities and medical conditions, etc.

100% agreed. Suggesting "not having children" as the first best thing you can do is IMO lazy at best and eco-fascist at worst.
