The most effective climate action you can take today is voting for a Democratic President who has appointed a Native American as Secretary of the Interior. It’ll definitely be more effective than you could be by sucking on a paper straw for the next hundred years.

@pratik pro-tip-- also more effective than personally going vegan.

@jsonbecker @pratik I say why not both? 😃

@petebrown @jsonbecker I can say that for people who scold others and predict doomsday but aren't doing anything on the policy and legislating side. Competitive virtue signaling is a hell of a drug. But if climate change is the single issue in terms of voting, then you are better off ignoring everything else about candidates that you may not fully agree with and forcefully advocating for them. If you are that passionate about climate change, that is.

@petebrown @pratik yup! If that’s your bag. But I think it’s important to understand that voting and policy is where the game is, the candidate choices we have are consequential, and purely playing the activist game to say that the better choice isn’t pure enough does way more harm than any good individual actions can repair.
