    Admittedly I hadn’t actually read stuff on the link before commenting, and I assumed it was going to suggest the sorts of things I did.

    Having gone through the little questionnaire, it suggested that I do all of the milktoast things like write to my congress members, vote, and join political campaigning and lobbying groups, which have all proven mostly ineffective (not that I advocate not voting, it’s still useful as harm reduction). for the second part, the ‘rolemodel’ suggestions, it has a few of the things I suggested, along with joining local protests and activist groups, which I do see as helpful to establish connections with others.

    I didn’t get the investor, consumer, or professional paths, but I can imagine the investor path would indeed suggest something like you mentioned.

    So yeah, I get why you’d be down on it, and share your sentiment.

      Sorry to accidentally talk you into doing a questionnaire, lol. My assessment was based mostly on the front page and a little digging into the:

      This guide was created by climate scientist Dr. Kimberly Nicholas and the team at Project Drawdown.

      Based on that feedback though it sounds like I might have been being a bit too charitable if anything.
