I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient

    Don’t short yourself on children which are your biological imperative (edit: unless you don’t want kids either way) just because of false statment that Earth is overpopulated. The system is broken, industry is fucking all of us and when we would improve on those fields we could sustain even more people while simultaneously being more green. Also, population growth is steadily declining since the 60’s and overall population number will soon start to plummet. It will cause problems down the line as population gets older and lives longer.

      I dont think thats correct. The UN climate scientists say there are resources on Earth for 3bn people. We have 7bn.

      Now I’m not advocating childlessness, but maybe not having any more than one is a good approach. And raising health standards in Africa and Asia would certainly reduce mortality, which in turn means people dont try to have as many kids.
