Climate change is, in my opinion, the defining issue of our lifetimes. It looms over all else and everything comes back to it. I'm currently not engaged in any environmental work and it's really starting to bother me. How can I not be involved in the biggest issue of my lifetime!

However there aren't any socialist organizations in my area working on climate action. We're doing a lot of good work around Housing, Abortion, and LGBTQA+ currently. However I feel like those organizations are completely busy with those issues.

Would it be worthwhile to join a liberal environmental group? I have the time for more organizing if I want to prioritize it.

    Depends what the liberals are doing about it tbh. If they’re doing good work then sure. You might even be able to radicalise some of em.

      Good point. I was thinking about that as well.

      I'll have to look into what exactly the groups in my area are doing and see if it's worth joining in.

      Do you know of any mainstream groups that do decent work?

        Can you let me know if you hear of any?

        Also, here's a simple one that you can do with a couple of buddies: adopt a stream. I found an awesome guide to streamwalking that explains how to monitor a stream's health through observation. It's a small project compared to the systemic issues we face but somebody needs to do it.
