    Climate change is a hydra. I think policy makers need to tax corporations for the damage they do instead of giving carbon offsets, and work with other countries to demand fair wages for all types of workers. No more .50 cent jobs for someone working for an American company in Africa or South East Asia.

    Globally, workers also need to unionize, that’s the only way people will get the climate and environmental policies which favor sustainable societal and national growth over short-term vision policies which only favor a few. Tbh, I see a lot of merit in some capitalist ideology, but there needs to be more solar punk capitalism.
