If you are in the US I recommend checking out your nearest chapter of CCL (citizens climate lobby). It will put you in contact with other like-minded people, who are working towards large scale solutions. Also just a good place to find support and to figure out where you can best fit in
Good luck!
Thank you so much! I am in Québec, but i'll check if there's anything similar here.
Politics.
In theory.
You’re right. People in politics hold no power. That’s why elections are not hotly contested, and republicans totally don’t go out of their way to disenfranchise people who have the mere potential to vote against them.

Buy some comfortable shoes.
Or don’t.
Because you don’t seem to get it.
And if you don’t get this, it’s because you don’t want to.
So go do something else.
Just don’t go attacking a museum like those idiots who don’t understand opposition shaping or the law of unintended consequences.
If you’re in the US, check out Climate Changemakers - they make it super easy to contact your representatives about specific issues related to climate change!
I'm not in the US, but i'll check if something similar exists here, thank you! =)

Also, chances r there are already ppl in your area doing this work, so it’s not like u need to organize it all on your own. It’s just a matter of finding these ppl.
If you want to put your small grain of sand, just plant a tree in your yard. 🤙
I don’t have any good answers for what you should be doing in your free time, but have you gone vegan yet? Your diet is not a “small” habit, it is absolutely massive. Every day of your life is an opportunity to vote with your wallet for the sustainable and humane world you want to see. Just the cows used for meat production release 231 billion pounds of methane into the atmosphere every year. So, my advice is adopt a plant-based diet, stop giving money to the meat and dairy industries, and spend some of your free time gently encouraging friends and family and strangers who say they care about climate change to do the same.
From personal experience, I know this is easier said than done. But I stopped all air travel, bought an EV, and eliminated all animal products from my diet, and of those three changes, by far the one with the biggest impact on the climate has surely been my vegan lifestyle. It never ceases to amaze me how many people who say they are concerned about or terrified of climate change refuse to stop eating animals.
