The most impactful climate actions you can take | The number one question about climate change that I’m asked nearly every day is, “What can I do?” (open.substack.com)

With every solution, and even in the title of this newsletter itself, I emphasize the number one thing individuals can do that most of us are still not doing: talk about it! Use your voice to explain why climate change matters and to advocate for climate action.

I think aiming for extinction is shortsighted and puts a lot of blame on humanity as a whole for the wrongs of colonialism.

But reducing our population, especially in countries with a larger carbon footprint (and not in developing countries as eco fascists would prefer) is a worthy goal.

Blaming humanity instead of blaming colonialism is the prevailing notion behind eco-fascism.

I was able to get a vasectomy in my 20s with no children. Not everyone has a cool doctor, so results may vary. And I know that it can be a lot more difficult for cis women to get surgical birth control.
