Due to the heatwave in the EU I've been experiencing a lot of climate change denial as well as a phenomenon that I can't quite describe. It's this pervassive idea that using a glass/paper straw or driving an electric vehicle somehow absolves you from doing more to care about the environment, but I honestly can't fault people since it feels like that is all someone can do.

As an individual, what can I do to combat climate change or is the issue so systemic that I am powerless?

Join a communist org / plant trees in your yard / street.

This.

There is no individual solution to climate change but as individuals we can organize and contribute in whatever small way we can to the defeat of capitalism.

Socialism is the only system capable of addressing climate change.

And planting trees doesn't hurt either. At a minimum you will contribute to keeping your neighborhood cooler with enough tree coverage.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
