Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Due to the heatwave in the EU I've been experiencing a lot of climate change denial as well as a phenomenon that I can't quite describe. It's this pervassive idea that using a glass/paper straw or driving an electric vehicle somehow absolves you from doing more to care about the environment, but I honestly can't fault people since it feels like that is all someone can do.

As an individual, what can I do to combat climate change or is the issue so systemic that I am powerless?

Go vegan.

Start by reducing meat consumption.

It will help on this matter and also on many others too.

I don't know if you have access to a medical care provider or not, but if you do, please talk to them before you do this.
