(A question someone posted in one of my groups.)
I am not going to say I’m confident. But as a Boomer I’m working to keep a level head because the young people & more vulnerable people need me to. It may sound strange but it feels like I’ve been training for this my whole life, as a child I always read stories about people living under oppressive regime.
And before this, my whole life, as a person raised by her parents to love & protect ecosystems, I feel like I have always been in training for the climate crisis.
And really, it’s all connected. For example, every drop of gasoline we can conserve is one drop less that goes to feeding oppression. Same goes for other consumption, because energy goes into everything. Many experts have written about the connection between energy demand and wars, fascism etc.
I am sort of a prepper, but in a community way. And I share tips and info with people to help everyone get prepped for whatever.
