Everything is on fire. Bugs are dying, teflon - and chemicals are everywhere, micro plastics, warming oceans, invasive species, west Nile virus, ohh cancer that I might be actually developing right now, the emptiness of existence, the inability to change big things, that at the end it won't matter. Nobody cares. Me doing my part doesn't matter. Immeasurable human stupidity, global upcoming financial crisis.
These are of the top of my head. But I do know how to keep my head in the sand, so at least I can sleep well enough.
Remember that there's big polluters of the world want you to believe its all already over and that you can't win. This is a strategy they explicitly employ, and you are not immune to their propaganda.
Vote with your wallet, recycle, reuse, no single use plastics etc ... It is all a lie also.
Footprint is a lie. I do recommend his channel it is very eye opening = depressing.
