The answer to your first point is going to be maths and the water cycle.

You proved the second point. We should do day trips to industrial agricultural properties to teach them.about the wonders of no till farming practices. I’m sure they’ll love it, even if it isn’t as profitable!

I’ll find you some ‘better sources’ tonight when I get home as it’s 7am here right now and I’m writing this while brushing my teeth.

This is me, the bulk of my belongings are plants at this point. Here’s hoping I can afford to keep the lights on for the foreseeable future, the leccy is ridiculously expensive lately.

global fresh water reserves will be 40% over capacity by 2030, and 90% of global top soil and arable land is ‘at risk’ of depletion by 2050.

There’s a fine line between avoiding ‘doomer talk’ and actively lying about the state of reality.

I’m all for hope (I desperately want to have it) but I’m really struggling with all the posts here that massively minimise the danger we’re in and promote wishful thinking.

I don’t know how this can be changed or improved upon but vehemently pretending that protesting, signing petitions, and setting up community gardens is enough, is just making me uncomfortable.

How do we lift each other up and make tomorrow a better place when all the science points to climate collapse and fresh water and arable land being depleted in the next 5 to 30 years?
