Everything counts towards emissions. Like all the ammo being exploded in the last few years. All the fires we had, even locally. I only recently began donating on a monthly to a WWF fund that sponsors firefighting volunteers and I wonder how much will that help if at all. It is still some correct allocation of funds towards common well-being, I hope.
Personally, I invested in a small patches of land this year and I am about to begin spending even more time propagating young trees and bushes.
While I invested about twenty hours of my time this summer watering about 25 or so trees 20 kilometers from where I live, some dudes burned millions in my country alone.
What I do is pointless.
And I like it.
Yes - and raging forest fires around the world due to climate change are massive - letting off far more CO2 than what we produce. Then there is the rebuilding of mega mansions in LA for example, and all that goes into that.
I get the sense that a lot of what we do is pointless, but I believe that doing what we think is right, is meaningful for us as individual humans, even if it amounts to nothing.
