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.

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
