"I want to sponsor planting trees"
... why aren't you, then? Taking personal steps towards improving things is by far the best thing you can do for your personal feelings of guilt. It won't solve the bigger issues. But collective behavior is built on lots of independent individual action.
- bloopernova 7y agoSee my response to another comment like yours. It's easy to convince myself I'm helpless, and your comment combined with the other one have smacked me around a bit and made me re-examine what I can do today.
- throwaway5752 7y agoI have a similar situation, and individual action and contributing to collective action (donations to groups, low level advocacy) has helped with the feeling of guilt. It's how large level change will happen, too. There is a technical ability to save this. There is a long way to go in a relatively short time to create the necessary awareness and accept the necessary "sacrifices". Thanks for the reply, and I'm really happy to hear that.
