There are infinite possibilities on actions and I don’t have an answer for what’s right for you, with the abilities you have, at this point of your life. However, here are some starting points for your thoughts:
- Consider reducing your personal carbon footprint. Some of the most impactful ways are reducing air travel, increasing the portion of plant-based food in your diet, moving less by car and buying less new items.
- Find out what you support with your savings in the bank. Consider divesting from the fossil industry and investing in climate solutions.
- Use your democratic rights by voting green, signing petitions or joining a local climate strike.
- Reflect on what kind of planetary impact you’re currently supporting to earn a living – and what kind of impact you’d like to make. If they don’t overlap, you might want to consider switching jobs or assignments.
- Contribute to climate projects with volunteer work or funding.
The list is far from complete, so please find your own way of contributing and tell us about it!
Whatever you choose to try out doing, I’m really curious to hear about it, so please share it with us in this group. 💚
