Most of my concerns are about the environment en survival of planet earth. Next to that I am concerned about the well being of people, and well structured societies.
Gradually I am accepting the situation as it really is, that is to say the predictions about "global warming" and how that will play out. So, much seems pointless but still...
I still do basically the same, just with less fervor and guilt. And I am better at not being frustrated as I see environmental destruction around me.
Generally, I pay attention to my footprint, CO2 and otherwise. Direct and indirect.
I am not in a position to measure anything actually at the moment, so I guesstimate things generally.
Less consuming.
Fewer showers. (Once a month sometimes if I am not in contact with people.)
Much less washing of clothes. I can go weeks in the same clothes, unless coming in contact with people I don't want to offend. It takes a while to get used to having the same underwear on for weeks, but it is possible. I can go 3 weeks on the same underpants without being bothered by it. Doesn't happen much, I still come in contact with other people. Although generally trying to minimize that because of the pandemic.
I accept there is no need for warm food, although I do enjoy it, and sometimes desire it still. But I can live on non-heated foods for days without concern. Often I join others to eat, or if necessitated, in a restaurant, usually cheap fast food. So, it is rare that I have a desire for warm food because I have not had any for some time.
No cars, and use fuel burning transportation as little as possible, and then always public transportation. Walking or biking is about the only transportation I do.
No child. That is so sad to say, and makes me more than sad almost depressed to think about that. When I was young I thought of a larger family, if I had found a wife with the same desire. Raising a child is an experience I would have enjoyed, but probably did not very well. But accepting that it is as it is, and I will not have a child, I have to be glad I don't have one. Not only am I not majorly contributing to the overpopulation, environment, and other problems, but then I don't have to consider what my child is facing as the world falls apart.
I drink direct from containers whenever possible. Obviously not when sharing, I am very careful about that. This avoids water, energy, and chemical usage to wash a drinking glass.
Similarly I eat from the packaging directly. Now it's about not microwaving food in the plastic container, but I still do. Don't waste washing a plate. Utensils immediately quickly rinsed off without soap, focusing on the drying (paper towel normally unfortunately, situations makes cloth a problem) to remove any remaining debris.
I started project fej.org after not finding available resources, people or groups to confidently know major world problems are being adequately addressed. And of course participating in it, as an example to begin, and then more involved as time permits.
I think a lot about problems and issues in order to hopefully come up with ideas to solve these. And do research about them, and collect the information.
Of course then further sharing information. I have an enormous amount of information collected, but not in an organized fashion. It will take some time, but I will be posting that information. Nothing unique, almost all of it is just links, or references to material publicly available on the internet.
Hopefully I am encouraging others to also be less of a part of the problem(s), however it is discouraging as almost all people resist or reject the thought that they should do something. With luck, efforts on the internet are more successful, but I have no information indicating that.
One or more on freetibet.org and I had a link but it is no longer valid.
Many others online that I might have record of, and will post that information as I run across it. Certainly one or more about child abuse.
I'll fill in a list later, but nothing exciting.
