I am glad to hear that it rains and is green in that corner of the desert, my friend. That is a beautiful image indeed. I am really excited about the possibility of reforesting in deserts, although deserts are beautiful habitats in themselves so we should definitely keep deserts around too.

I think people just feel defeated as individuals because they read only doomer content on climate change and as a result they feel overwhelmed unless some larger entity takes on the fight on their behalf. They've come to underestimate the impact individuals can have in effecting great change. I'm optimistic that little by little things can improve and that people can enjoy having a fun time contributing to the fight in positive ways as individuals.

The tiny thing the GP is talking about, a small park, is completely out of reach of individuals.

Small communities can have an impact. But the only thing individuals can do is to pick what initiatives they support and what they wont have any piece of.

The prime mover in any small community is an individual!

"Primer mover" isn't a concept that exists.

You can either help organize something or act alone. Those are completely different kinds of action. And acting alone won't achieve anything.

So how is that state of mind not going to end the world?

Refusing to acknowledge it hasn't work any well...

But do you have any evidence of the contrary? I'm eager to listen to it.
