3) Electrify everything
4) Localize
5) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down trees

A 16 year old was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.
A 20 year old was shot and killed for driving down the wrong driveway.
An 18 year old is in critical condition for trying to get into the wrong car.
And a 6 year old and her dad were shot because her basketball rolled onto the wrong lawn.
In a nation armed to the teeth & perpetually primed for war, these tragedies are only going to happen more often, not less.
What the hell are we doing?
@DarkBlue420@LakotaMan1@AKAanAngryMom@mtgreenee As a non-indigenous female I can agree with your first and second sentences. But I cannot read your last sentence without thinking that your forebears' gains (and mine) have come at a horrific cost for others. I must honor that by learning and remembering.
This spring, do the world a favor and stop using chemical garden pesticides.
A few boxes of ladybugs goes a long way. Some Praying Mantis for the bigger problems, maybe a spray bottle with Cayenne Pepper. Netting, fencing, anything but more poisons killing more bees.
Just the occasional reminder that we absolutely can beat the climate crisis.
We know exactly how
We know it'll save billions
We know it improves the quality of life for all
All we lack are politicians with the integrity to refuse bribes from the fossil fuel multinationals.
