I do my best to limit plastic use and eat less meat. But that's a mosquitoes fart compared to all the pollution that can easily prevented by the players that matter. Governments still choose fossil over nuclear, not enough subsidy on fossil alternatives that we could have had decades ago etc.

I still try my best to do what I can. But at the same time I've come to terms with the fact that we're all fucked and everything I'm doing is pointless. But I'd rather do what I can and strive to do better than give up and make things worse. I have completely selfish reasons for doing my part and it's literally just because I'd feel like an asshole.
I make myself the change I want to see in the world so I can live and die with a refreshing feeling of superiority.
I love it! Change the world for the better... out of spite XD
I just distract myself by focusing on how my life is falling apart. Occasionally I'll distract myself from my crumbling life by stressing about how the world is burning.

We have solar and a plug in hybrid car. I try to support small local businesses. We moved to a place with historically cooler weather above sea level. I vote in all the elections I can. I keep up with the town planning board and try to influence towards car independence. I stay hydrated, wear natural fibers, and try to buy used when I can.
How dramatic, nothing this year is out of the ordinary.
People crying that during the summer it gets hot? Ridiculous.
I'm hoping you just forgot an /s. But just in case, there's nothing 'ordinary' about it. Unless you are talking about the 'new ordinary'.

I've resigned myself to the extinction of our species. We had a good run.

I bought significantly above sea level. Surely, I will have beachfront property within my lifetime, if all the claims are to be believed!
