A habitable planet, humanity's gold, menaced by climate change.

It may be interesting to know which foods or species is impacted more by climate change (and crossing other planetary boundaries), but we know more than enough. We do not have a knowledge probz. We have an action problem.

So maybe stop listening to what they say. Start going to the streets and make them listen to us.

Yes, this would be very easy compared with many other problems we are facing.

Our society in its current way relies a lot on cars. Far travels are not yet easily possible without planes. Electricity is not easily replaced (needs some time to build, we need batteries etc.). And we need to tackle all these problems and face the challenges that come with it. But food is so easy. We just need to change some optics of food. We wouldn't even lose any nutritional value (we would even gain so many health advantages) but people insist on having tortured animals in their food instead of the same nutrients and taste provided by plants.

That's a very nice article. But if we want to support environmental activism and connectedness to nature in the next generation, maybe we should also leave them a funtioning environment and nature to connect to.

Yes, there are some underlying issues which seem rooted in conservatisvism or rather its expression in modern politics.

But activism is not only about informing, it's about pressuring the ruling class. And the more people support it, the better it works.

The ruling class was against civil rights, women's rights, freeing slaves, Mahatma Ghandi, and so on. They were not convinced by facts, reason, or science. The people who are convinced by these need to show politicians that they are willing to stand up and protest if they don't listen.

Yes, it's hard. But I'd rather endure oppression than giving up.

However, there's a lot you can do to support without repression. You can provide social media support, help with designing banners and stuff, take and edit pictures and videos, provide food, or also legal support, just as some examples.

Also, the more people join protests, the harder it is for the state to oppress them.

There is something you can do. You can get into and support climate activism.

How many wake-up calls have we had? Now we're having hundreds of wake-up calls at once.

Let's go.

Yes, it's really late. For some parts of the world even too late. But let's save what's left.

This is a devastating message to civil rights. Let's turn it into strength for the movement and support activism around the world.
