It sounds harsh, however we don’t need more people living marginally greener/more sustainable lifestyles. Now is not the time for 'we have to start somewhere', its time for identifying our most powerful leverage points and putting everything we each have behind those.https://twitter.com/AlexSteffen/status/1138147106844172288 …

Quite honestly, I'm frustrated by people's misguided "hope" that everything will be fine if they do their (very) small personal, usually consumer-based thing and don't treat the emergency we're in like an emergency; never get beyond their small actions to reach BIG.
Our societies severely limit our imaginations of what we can do. Of how powerful we are. Of how much we can change things when we join with others. This limitation seems normal virtually all of the time and “just the way things are.”

I certainly suffer from this, but we need to push ourselves in this pivotal time in history, and really grapple with: What can I do? Where can I join with others? Where can I leverage the most power?

One of the most important things we can do right now is to question the almost-default-unaware ways we feel small and where that limits what we can do. And help others to do this. And if we do that, it helps the smaller things we do have much more meaning.
