    every little bit works towards the solution. Build local solutions, build mutual aid

    build mycelial networks of resistance, and you might find that you’re less alone and more powerful than you realised before you did this.

    I didn’t mean to say otherwise in my initial comment, but that is what i am trying to say. It is a collective effort-- all from all individual effort, from your neighbours, to yourself, to companies, to politicians, each of which combined together progress towards a meaningful path. We all have to hold each other accountable. It has not come perfectly of course, but at the very least there is some move towards combating climate change, which is better than doing nothing.

    My comment is towards those who resign themselves to apathy when they find out that saving water doesn’t do as much or what they put into recycle bin turned up in landfill. These little things are better than doing nothing at all. Some people have a notion that they are some sort of superhero. That’s why I hate the phrase "hero of your own story. No, we are all just mere humans doing what we can to survive and help one another.

        Funding for global climate change has no oversight and is rife with corruption.

        https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/climate-change-finance/

        A lot of the funds go to strange projects, such as building luxurious hotel with solar panel, and even fossil fuel plants that are somehow considered green.

        Nicaragua was right not to sign the 2015 Paris climate deal because they correctly believe it doesn’t go far enough. Governments, businesses and people have to be held accountable if we are serious about this.
