I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient
True. But who uses those services and companies? Where do all our consumer goods come from? Our banking services we use, where do they invest our money so we can profit off interest rates?
We need electronics that last longer, are supported longer by companies we buy from. We need more ethical investment from our banks. We just need to buy a damn sight less from China like clothes, electronics, etc etc. We’re using those 100 companies as a proxy for our consumerism.
They’re not even companies that make the goods you buy. Almost all of them - exclusively - are fossil fuel energy companies.
If you don’t limit car use, and you don’t buy renewable power, then you’re absolutely part of the problem. If you give a shit about the future there’s plenty of action you personally can and should take.
I’ve literally listed several actions above in my reply. I’m not here to argue but we ultimately use those companies even if indirectly.
Yes, I was agreeing with you!
