| So there's four sides to this. 1) Individual practical action - that's your standard "low carbon lifestyle" stuff, reduced meat, bicycles, insulated housing, minimal consumption, all of that. 2) Individual mental action - this is actually getting to know what the goals of yoga are, if you're doing yoga, and Buddhism, if you're doing mindfulness etc. Actually understanding the goals and objectives is key. 3) Collective practical action - how do we actually build things which we can ethically use? I've been banging on about the Fair Trade Laptop for years, but if we had a lot of demonstrated collective willingness to buy such a thing, maybe Fairphone or System 76 or somebody would be willing to manufacture one for us. Demand aggregation is a thing the internet is good at. 4) Collective mental action - where is our objective map of the risks to the human species, and list of efforts to mitigate those risks, ideally with drill down to budget line items so we know how our money is being spent? A sort of policy wiki? A global survival wiki? |
