> Well for example I spend 3 full days a year of training at my company being lectured about climate change.

I can perfectly imagine employees of a bank having to do that for the SRI rating. Then head back to their cubicle for the 280 other days and give loans for mining, road constructions, malls, etc. 99% of the time spent on business as usual isn't exactly being too much concerned about an existential threat...

That said, 3 days is better than nothing at all, and your company is likely an exception.




The thing is that it feels force fed. Reactions are adverse it’s counter productive.


So what is your suggestion? How do we avoid this fast approaching existential threat to humanity?


CO2 based tarifs? Nuclear energy? Us plebeians have zero leverage to have those implemented. It requires international coordination. It’s about the chosen few thus the constant hammering on the average joe is pointless.

Regarding plastics and soil pollution there are very actionable daily and local measures we can take the reduce it. Yet nothing is done.
