the world is burning and no one seems to care
i dont want to feel alone in this anymore, but right now i am the only person i know who constantly breaks down because of the current state of the climate.
i live in the snowy mountains in australia and am indigenous. i see less and less snow each year, but more and more careless destruction of our land. i am only 25 years old, but i want so badly to make a big impact and snap everyone out of their survival-mode trance and thinking the climate isnt something to be concerned about.
i try to stay kind and gentle in these conditions but boy is it hard. there seems to be less and less things to stay positive about. 10 extra billionaires have settled in australia lately, and of course, they just add to the 178 billionaires hoarding wealth in this country without adding anything positive to society or the environment (making it worse, actually).
it makes me so sad that the world is on fire and we are seeing the effects of climate change with our own eyes but nothing seems to be done about it.
im sick of being a powerless 25 year old. i want to be and do something more.
