    Yeah, I have zero desire to conserve a system that is actively destroying my future. I’m fortunate that I work in an in-demand field, but even as a member of the professional class earning a professional salary, the cost of housing is insane, and the climate crisis is going to deeply impact the state of the world I live in for the rest of my life.

    The main thing I’m out here trying to conserve is the environment before we go past the point of no return, which in all honesty we might have already passed.

      We’ve passed the point of no return for many things, but not everything. We could still improve this world’s standards if we started taking climate change seriously, but unfortunately our system is designed to react as the last moment instead of being proactive about literally anything.

      Im 100% here. By being massively successful I can afford a working class quality of life from yesteryear and mostly just try to enjoy as much local nature as I can while I still can.
