Hmm what can I do to make a change?…
Ok I won't leave the TV on standby overnight. But then again that would just be the equivalent to taking a small dustpan and brush to help with the cleanup at the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's not going to make much of a difference, is it?
Talking jibberish causes me anxiety

Great clip,thank you.
For people interested in making a difference.
Veganism is âsingle biggest wayâ to reduce our environmental impact,University of Oxford study finds
It's genuinely amazing how many truly brilliant peoples' minds fry when the "V"word gets mentioned and
they turn into the most logically inconsistent and rationally dishonest folk, and they end up providing
"really problematic takes"! Please don't be those people!
In regards to what people can do as individuals when it comes to climate change. Of course it is no silver
bullet and won't solve the problem by itself, but would go a long way to helping.
Lead author Joseph Poore said: âA vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact
on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water
use."
The article was in the Independent: Veganism is âsingle biggest wayâ to reduce our environmental impact,
study finds.
And the original study was in Science :Reducing foodâs environmental impacts through producers and
consumers.
Again, you are all probably well aware of this website as a good source of reliable information.
The website "Our world in data" is used as a teaching resource at Harvard, Oxford, MIT and other
esteemed universities has a huge amount of information on the impacts of food choices on the
environment, well worth checking out.
There is also an article in Nat geo "How beef eaters in cities are draining rivers in the American West"
which is worth reading.
Making the change to Veganism also allows an individual to live the most morally and ethically consistent
life possible in our current system. By this I mean simply that the majority of the population considers
themselves animal lovers and the vegan ethos aligns with the least amount of animal rights violations
and cruelty possible at the moment.
There is now no and in fact hasn't been for some time any contention over the viability of the vegan diet,
for all stages of life. If you search online for "American academy of nutrition and dietetics " vegan and
that will clarify the scientific consensus. They are, as I understand it, the biggest nutrition and dietetics
organisation in the world, and their position is backed up by the corresponding organisation in the UK
and elsewhere.
For most people with animal companions in your lives, you are very aware of them as individuals, with
likes and dislikes and distinctive personalities. Is it any stretch at all to understand that the 70 to 80
Billion land animals and 3 Trillion fish that are slaughtered each year all possess, maybe some to a
lesser degree, the same level of consciousness, individuality and the will and desire to live?Pigs, for
example, are widely recognised as being at least as smart as three to five year old human children, and,
on the scale as we understand it, more intellectually and emotionally adept than dogs.
Please just ask yourself this question. What IS the morally relevant difference between those beings we
breed for food and those we breed for companionship?
And for that matter the difference between "them"(the others) and us, same answer, none.
I highly recommend you check out Ed Winters ted talk: Every argument against Veganism and if you
haven't seen it, the film "Dominion 2018", which is on YT, is a must watch for anyone who consumes
animal products and supports other industries that exploit animals.
Eco anxious? The planet is literally dying and you want people to stay calm? Good luckâĻ
Aka we are indoctrinated
Sorry, the world isnât going to end
I live in Japan.
I know we have to care about environment but I donât make enough effort.
Today, I bought sushi with disposable box and I felt guilty.

Extreme Capitalism is incompatible with Climate Change (like oil & water). This will likely continue until the human race eventually becomes extinct
Their anxiety was and is being generated by people like this crazy woman talking
You Happy Wives Makes My Life đ
Mental health might disappear when brainwashing and indoctrination stops.
Give kids something else to worry about that they can work on, control and better …
Perfect response. Action is the solution to despair. Taking action may involve researching which solutions are the most effective too.
Personally, I like the ENROADS simulator. It lets you turn knobs and explore the effects of a variety of policy scenarios that we can advocate for.
well…..the way she talking is irritating đ
Just stop telling them lies then, that would cure that problem in an instant!
I donât care I have my own problems
Tips on how to help the earth:
1. Use plastic bags less often or just never. Buying a reusable bag is much better than a plastic one.
2. Buy products which have less plastic or just no plastic at all.
3. Try eating less meat. Tofu, cworn and other plant based stuff is very good to replace meat.
4. Dont litter! Only because its a small piece of plastic doesnât mean it wont do much.
5. Planting a few trees and plants will definitely help! It will make the oxygen around us fresher and can help home other creatures.
6. Use less electricity
7. Dont waste food and drinks. Atleast give it to someone in need (this is not helping the planet i guess its just helping others around you)
Hereâs an idea: stop smirking and smiling while talking about it.
