This title is metaphorical but incident is fairly recent. As an example of restoring and maintaining a better environment, this seems hopeful.

I don't like to say it but in Malaysia I felt like I was breathing again. I felt like things were made for Human life.
Here in the States it feels like our environment is never about making our lives easier (and certainly not better).
It's aggressive. It's hostile.
I didn't leave the States for 10 years and now I almost wish I hadn't because I had forgotten what it was like not just being able to walk everywhere in a city but actually enjoying walking in a city.
I don't regret moving to the States.
As a trans non-binary person this is still the best place to be even with all the hatred we face.
But it's also one of the most dehumanizing living environment I've ever seen.

Global #warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year for the first time.
source: https://plantbasednews.org/news/environment/worlds-first-year-long-breach-limit/
This year-long breach does not mean that the world has broken the #Paris #Climate #Agreement #limit, but it does bring it closer to doing so in the longer term. The 1.5C limit is a legally binding 2015 treaty with 195 signatories to set out a path for dealing with climate change.

Do the right thing.
It may not always be clear at first what the right thing is. For example, recycling is fairly easy but accomplishes much less than something more difficult such as changing your diet or giving up your car.
Learn the differences, and do the right thing. 🤗

Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.
A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.
They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.
Expedia CEO Peter Kern has led the online travel agency for three years, from its pandemic nadir to the post-COVID surge in travel. With that experience, one trend he says he doesn’t see changing anytime soon is people traveling like there’s no tomorrow. What’s more, he says, people talk a good talk about climate change angst but are not modifying their behavior much

“Net Zero by 2050" Get the Joke? - Lannie Rose - Medium

The priority should therefore not be to replace every car with its electric equivalent but rather to rethink mobility in general
It’s true that fully electric vehicles do not emit waste products but the batteries that supply energy to the vehicle are made of minerals like lithium and cobalt which have an impact on climate change.
And those mines have incredible environmental and health impacts in the places that they exist

Why tech companies are wrong to think electric cars are a solution to climate change
To fight climate change, carmakers want to sell us ever more technological and ecological vehicles. For Paris Marx, this approach is wrong.Thomas Duthois (Euronews.com)
This is not planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.
Human civilization was built upon the certainty of a stable, predictable climate allowing consistently reliable agriculture producing decade after decade of steady economic growth and allowing huge, thriving coastal cities.
But now we're seeing what happens when human industry pumps a *trillion* tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we warm the oceans to levels never seen before, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.
The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.

This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutions.videos.trom.tf
Quoting because I don't think I can get to them and the rest of the conversation is important. Saying "WE are consuming the oil" is technically correct as no other species on Earth has figured out how to do it, but this observation and four quarters gives you a full dollar.
Ultimately people use what is affordable for them, including availability and cost. Using alternatives to fossil fuels is currently more expensive, whether in research, time or straight up money. There are several reasons for this, subsidies and marketing playing no small part, but boiling this question down to personal responsibility is either ignorant of the larger picture or incredibly privileged as in "if I could do it, anybody else can easily do it".

…of billionaires to wreck a planet.
They don’t need to have a majority, or anything even close to a plurality. All it takes is a few thousand sociopathic billionaires — the population of a village — to take full control of everything and then completely ruin our livable biosphere while further enriching themselves.
The scale on the image below is NOT exaggerated. In less than two centuries, and especially just within the last 30 years, capitalist oligarchs have burned so much coal, oil, and gas that our climate system simply can’t handle it.
It’s almost out of control now. But the people who are to blame have names and addresses.
