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

Not to derail this, because hey, nothing wrong with prepping/trying to help your community. But let's not forget that 100 companies are responsible for 70% of emissions since 1988.

Woah, seems like I started something. I specifically said there was nothing wrong with doing your part, but that we shouldn't forget it's not our fault.

Just responding to your edit, I think it's a great thing that you did start this wider conversation. I find it refreshing that on Lemmy people are having much more detailed conversations and raising these wider talking points. Back on the old place a lot of people would just try to drop short gotcha type replies that were repeated over and over just to get karma, it got boring.

The only thing I will say is I think you failed at not derailing the conversation slightly!

Yeah some very good reads in this thread, cool to see everyone actually having a conversation instead of contrarianism left and right (some of that here... but not as much). I think I was pretty clear, but some people seem to think I meant that you shouldn't change your lifestyle.

I meant that we should be holding those companies accountable in conjunction with making personal changes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
