  • It’s hard to know what to do.

    I’m concerned about climate change. I spent 20 years not driving, buying locally, going to protests, organizing my local political party, avoiding flights, and trying to work for NGOs.

    It kinda sucked. I missed out on things. I didn’t have much money. I spent time trying to figure out how to do the right thing. I didn’t have a car, so getting around sucked. My stuff sucked because I thrifted.

    When I had kids, I went mainstream. I got a car. Started traveling on my vacations. Bought stuff new. Got a job with a corporation. Life is so much easier. The only thing I miss is volunteering.

    I still vote my conscience, and try to buy sustainably, but I did my time. I’m done sacrificing my quality of life while assholes are living it up.
