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

I limit meat consumption and driving. I buy seeds and plant them. Most importantly I am staying in the infrastructure industry.

Moved out of a drought/fire prone area and to a more climate-stable environment with tons of water. Bought a plug in hybrid. Work from home so no commute. Reduced meat consumption. And chose not to have babies.

I live my life to the fullest, with my car and my travel plans and eating meat and with my pets (and hopefully family).

If we're well and truly "fucked" (and I'm not convinced we are), I'm certainly going to enjoy life and focus on living it well.

I share similar thoughts. I know the situation is dire and likely to worsen, but I've stopped fretting about it as there's no benefit from fretting. At the end of the day I still have my life to live and I just hope that I can endure and adapt to the hardships ahead of us.
