Climate change. An issue for decades, yet it seems like it's only been talked about for the past years. It hurts to know that species extinction will be inevitable and may not recover for possibly 100.000 or 1bil years. It hurts a lot that I am releasing so much CO2 into the air daily because of my job...a reason why I would look for something new. It feels so good that I no longer eat meat.

It's becoming more and more apparent that we need to adapt our lives to produce 0% emissions. The lifestyles of many must be completely reversed by 180 degrees. It's too late to keep things as normal as they are today, but it's not too late to prevent even worse consequences. Act now!

Feel free to discuss about this topic, kindly.💚

Hi Franny, it’s a tricky subject. My feelings on this are that I’m particularly concerned about the pollutants going into the environment that are not being talked about so much such as aluminium particulates, plastics, GMOs, EMFs, glyphosate, pharmaceutical run off etc.

I’m less concerned about CO2 because it’s a natural gas and essential for all life, forests and plants through photosynthesis etc.

I’m into local growing cooperatives and permaculture and live in a surf town so deeply care about oceanic pollution. So that’s my perspective.

What do other people think? 🙏

Thank you Chris! I agree with you. Co2 is sure a essential part of our planet, but most of it is/was stored in the ground, and we push out more than earth can process/store again.

Normally, earth regenerates but it takes so much time, so much, we can’t even image in our short lifespan.

There are so much chemicals and plastic, nobody talks about, that’s true.😕 it should be normal to have no plastic (or Aluminium) in the supermarket and anywhere else! I would understand, if we use it for medical stuff.

Local growing got lost in the past decades, for my grandma it was totally normal when she were younger! We loose the touch with nature….💚

I‘m with #[3] on this subject. And yes, it‘s tricky, especially because climate change has been put onto the banner of too many political organisations.

Whilst I support reducing dependence on fossil fuels, my feeling is that this „everything or nothing“ approach to capping CO2 emissions falls short in many ways. The question is, IMHO, which incentives exist for whom to do what? And from which changes the planetary ecosystem would profit most?

From what I see, transitioning to a sustainable (ideally local) agriculture and eating & living healthily would go a long way.

Any contrarian thoughts? 🙏🏼

I agree. But I'm also concerned about the CO2 level. That's no problem for our earth, but a problem for humans.
