GOOD ON CALM !!! *** big scary eyes ***

More seriously, I think that if the intervention of Georges100 was not the most relevant given the state of health of Did67 (perhaps an awkward humor attempt having forgotten his Smileys), your reaction (and your words) , Did, was perhaps a little excessive.
Please, people, when you read a message that makes your hair stand on end, don't respond right away. Blood cuts are bad advisers and they rarely move the debate forward.
You have a glaring example just above.
No, rather than responding in anger, let a night pass over it. The next day, the anger will have subsided and there will remain the real questions and the words that will advance the ideas.

Otherwise, to come back to the means of advancing things at our level, there are many:
Answer (constructively of course) the questions of this forum.
Sharing our experience and our ideas can only help matters. They will also be useful to those who, through the game of search engines and links will fall on one of its pages and will say to themselves: "damn it, but that's for sure, that's what I was looking for a long time without knowing it ".
This is exactly what happened to me (with a newspaper and not a forum).
I led a small life of standard CONsumer but a malaise nevertheless prevented me from enjoying all the "benefits" of the material ... until one day I came across the magazine "Silence". And there, everything cleared up. I'm sure this forum is already at the origin of many awakenings of consciousness on this level there.
Replace the values of "competition", "individualism" and other cretineries of the same style that the kindergarten to retirement home system instills in us
by values of solidarity, exchange, sharing.
Naturally, this will lower our dependence on the trading system.
Children's clothes are the perfect illustration of this: if you are a "Winner" willing to step on your neighbor to be "on top", you will ruin yourself in clothes for the kids.
We had 2 children, and hardly bought any clothes for them until they were 7/8 years old. In addition to the clothes offered, we have a "network" of friends to whom we pass the clothes on when they become too small for our monsters, and we collect them after (+ others) for the next one.
With 5 or 6 couples, provided that the children are not exactly the same age, the rotation works very well.
And this system works for everything: from the moment when an object is not useful 100% of the time, it is shareable: a mower that can be bought in common and run between neighbors, a place in a car, tools, ...
In short, if we focus on utility rather than possession, there are ways to lower your bills and your ecological footprint. Accepting the opportunity instead of new is another (and not just for cars).
explore the tracks each at their own level. The "old" site already learned, I try, for my part to see what can be done for the planet at the level of a small town hall. My wife is the coordinator of the Girondin collective of alternatives to pesticides. All these activities are of course voluntary, but you have to know how to give what you have to advance a just cause.
If you are fed up with bawlers and fruitless debates, get into action. There are 1001 causes you can embrace to relieve this planet.
According to your means, your availability and your desires, choose one and get started. Take advantage of it: ecology is in vogue, town halls are asking for "turnkey" green events that will improve their image at little cost.
So, set up a bicycle promotion association, a collective of information and joint purchase of pellets, buy a plant shredder with several people and turn it around to make compost ...
Let go of the devil .... but not verbally on this forum, please .... The Webmaster is there for that
