I totally get the sentiment, but our individual effects are miniscule when compared to the devastation caused by a few wealthy elite.

Even if the entire world’s population went vegan overnight, that would still only reduce emissions by 10-15%.

Solar panel tech has exploded over the last 10 years, yet CO2 emissions and power consumption have grown faster still.

Considering this is very much a time sensitive issue, I’m beginning to believe that the most effective use of resources would be direct action against the fossil fuel industry and military industrial complex. Things such as monkey wrenching, blockades, and other more radical means of force.

Of course not everyone is willing to personally go and cause damage to physical assets of corporations, fearing arrest and punishment. But some people have very little to lose and are willing to put their personal safety on the line.

For the others with more to lose (families, etc…), they can still help by identifing targets, keeping watch, donating tools/equipment, and even providing funding for more action, bailouts, legal fees, etc.

There is a reason the word punk is used in SolarPunk.
