The sad part of reading news like this is the feeling of paralysis and helplessness of watching it all unfold.

There are no actionable calls to action or advice laid out in articles like these.

Awareness is good though. Perhaps it inspires people to work directly on solving nature's greatest problems. A friend of mine made a GitHub curated list about tech companies working in this space.

I personally use Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) to offset my own footprint and a bit more!
