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.
- Don’t have children
- Don’t build a house with concrete (incl foundation)
- Public transport and cycling
- No beef and minimize dairy products
Not having children doesn’t solve anything. That’s just an abandonment of the future. It directly harms people who need help - the elderly, those with disabilities and medical conditions, etc.
100% agreed. Suggesting “not having children” as the first best thing you can do is IMO lazy at best and eco-fascist at worst.
Can you explain why me not having a child would directly harm people with disabilities? I really struggle to see the logic here - even if you want to point out that we need younger generations in order to care for the elderly, there is still a record number of humans living on the planet right now and I struggle to understand what an individual child would change here
We would completely solve the climate crisis in one generation if we all stopped having kids.
