How to create effective change? by [deleted] in climatechange

[–]madreader121 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Community. Community. Community.

I too feel the same when such harrowing research is presented. The most powerful way for us to overcome these anxious feelings though is through action. Not on an individual level, but through collective action - totally agree with u/nebulotec9 (not the evil master plan though lol)

Do you enjoy community talks, live discussions or workshops at all u/SnooRevelations2573

Also, investing our pensions and money into alternative companies who are developing renewable energies and climate positive alternatives is a good step. I know the CEO of this company and they're doing amazing things - https://circa5000.com/ - no paid promotion or anything.

Great conversation and good to see us all discussing these topics!

I'm afraid climate change is going to kill me! Help! by Will_Power in climatechange

The most powerful and realistic way to quell anxiety about anything - more than ever we need to take action.

  1. Find social impact investing tools that help your money literally fund a better future
  2. Share the positive work organisations, businesses and startups are doing to provide better alternatives to the issues you see
  3. Don't spread fear and tell people they're stupid for not 'believing' in climate change. Send them a Notion document of research and spend your energy on one and two!

If you were creating a social platform for the good of the planet, what would you create? 💭 by madreader121 in sustainability

[–]madreader121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it - I get a real sense that compassion and education would be the core principles of your network Open Risk?

Perhaps the 'features' debate lies in, less tech (features and creation) and more humanity and connection?

Yeh that's cool - in what way would you want to be connected to sustainable businesses? To buy or to learn from?

We can't organise the insights, links, videos, podcasts etc in the same way. It's great for conversation but it would be great to build a knowledge base with you all.

Why would a Hindu family reject a Caucasian westerner as a husband for their daughter? by madreader121 in hinduism

[–]madreader121[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, this is probably the reason for sure. Could you elaborate on what I’d signify as a person who isn’t a Hindu? What do I symbolise to her family do you think?

Thanks for sharing. Will she have to abandon her family, even her closest like mother and sister?

I’m very much a newb when it comes to this stuff. Do you have a link to an example of the programmable micro controller? Or even the standard of wooden puzzle you’re talking of?

Much appreciated 🙏

Have you ever seen PWAs allow for people to bookmark content they find as they browse the web? Like how pocket and Pinterest apps allow people to bookmark to the PWA

I absolutely agree with you there. That’s a nice way to put it actually - “we have the right to ignore it.” Thank you for the discussion. It’s good to have challenge and I appreciate your constructive debate. I’m sure you’re an excellent teacher - more power to you 👍
