Some of the calls for individual action on climate crisis don’t take into account daily life for a lot of people in working-class towns in the UK. e.g. guilt shaming about driving a car, when public transport systems have been neglected for years.
Green new deal and green jobs could be a good positive framing I think.
– Do what you can as an individual, to the best of your ability
– Don’t be overburdened by guilt if you can’t do it all
– Be very conscious that not everyone is in a position to do what you think is ‘doing the right thing’ (including yourself)
– The system is pretty rigged against doing the right thing, so ultimately the system is the one that needs to change
– Individual behaviour change is probably a part of bringing about system change
It’s all really interesting, in particular that question of – what scale should we be pushing change?
Does individual action make any difference? Does a small org make any difference? Such a tough one but I totally agree that “at the very least we can spread the message, the intent, the energy to our friends, family, and possibly our clients, who might spread it onwards.”
Just using simple org files and org-publish to get going, but very pleased to have a starting point to grow further.

In this particular post I’m going to chat specifically about discovery, AKA using the Intertubes to find out about interesting things. I can’t help but call my strategy for this my discostrat, apologies for that. I’ll talk a bit about how I’ve had it set up for a while, and some recent tweaks I’ve made to it, and maybe some ways I want to improve it more.
