What to do in an apocalypse?

What to do in an apocalypse? What can we do *today*?
How can we save the world as only one person?

~ some ideas ~

• Take our money out of big banks (so we aren’t funding climate change and war)

• Pay cash when we can (to avoid giving $ to credit card companies)

• Show up to city council and county board of supervisors and commission meetings and demand local change (go with friends and annoy them regularly so they can’t ignore us)

• Make time being present with our family and friends

• Spend as much time as we can outside

• Use less electricity but make it fun/healthy (sleeping more, playing boardgames, making art)

• Engage in Citizen Science Projects

• Tell people we love them (often)

• Meet our neighbors (to create resilient relationships)

• Grow an edible garden (so we aren’t reliant on exploitation and fragile, expensive systems. Edible gardens called Victory Gardens accounted for 40% of produce grown during WW11)

• Plant trees (fruit trees, shade trees, favorite trees, rare trees)

• Buy and collect seeds

• Buy and make canned foods

• Compost to help soil health

• Give away and trade what we don’t need

• Practice meditation and relaxation and play

• Make time for doing nothing (Why do nothing?)

• Walk and bike and stay home when we can (to reduce energy consumption)

• Meet with community members regularly to exchange ideas, food, care & love

• Talk to our coworkers/friends/family/neighbors about worker cooperatives and unions and boycotts and strikes

• Make political art and put it around town/wear it

• Make art just for ourselves

• Read

• Write down our ideas

• Share them

• Let the old dying system fully die :)
