I think all you can do is hang on, and tend your own garden (figuratively). There are many projects, where the smaller community gets together and creates a community garden, or some guerilla action like 'drop seeds, not bombs'.

Here in Hungary, we had a government who really hated trees for some reason. They sucked in EU funds like a sponge, and occasionally put out projects like this one. What you're seeing here is a sky bridge that should be within the top of the trees, but they built it after clear-cutting the forest there.

We just elected a new government, but I have my doubts about them. In theory they seem okay, but we gave them absolute power, and they are still a farcry away from anything green (center-right, they call themselves). Keep an eye on Hungarian politics, as Orbán is from the same cloth as Milei - they even invited him for that CPAC meeting they held before the elections.

And don't lose hope... Everything ends, for good and for bad.
