If you think leaving things better than you found them is just having kids and providing for them, you’ve got a long way ahead.
Providing for your kids is the minimum. Leaving things better affect every part of your life and every interaction you have.
I know for a fact I personally could be doing a whole lot more and so could you guys.
Let’s just all try a little harder and see how it goes.

The colonial United States is actually very big on socialism. It’s just that the colonial government doesn’t want their citizens to think about it. We all have to pay to send children to school even if we don’t have kids. We all pay for those schools, the buses, the fuel used to pick up the children and everything else required so the children can go to public school. Don’t want to pay to send other peoples children to school? Too bad. You CAN’T opt out. That means socialism. The post office. Don’t want to support the USPS? Too bad. You have to support it and you CAN”T opt out.
If someone gets injured on the job and it’s caused them to no longer be able to work, YOU must chip in to support that disabled person and you CAN”T opt out. Don’t have a loved buried in a cemetery or don’t visit the park? Too bad. You must chip in to support and upkeep their maintenance and you CAN’T opt out. These are all forms of socialism. They are forced upon you and taken out of your pay while you work and while you pay your property taxes and or included in rent from your landlord. The colonial United States of America IS socialism. The only way for you to opt out is to relinquish US citizenship, and move away.
Forcing you to buy heath insurance is another act of socialism.

If you cannot keep doing something forever, this is the very definition of unsustainable. Focusing on human wellbeing instead of economic growth is the kind of thinking that will bring society out of the confines of ancient economic systems and will propel us into a future of sustainable growth. It is not socialism. It is futurism. One of the defining features of our species is our aspiration to be more than what we are. Until now, that aspiration has been individualistic. Imagine what we can achieve if we apply that attitude to our entire society. That’s the kind of future I want for my descendants.

Abrupt permafrost deep soil carbon and nitrous oxide loss is not modelled
350 ppm CO2 will not cool eath, 300 maybe will do it
We must cut energy use 50% in 10 yrs to stay under 1.5 C
This never happened in history, and will never happen in the future
People who are richer smarter and older than you don’t want you to know this
Batteries and bio-energy will not reduce earth’s heat imbalance in time, and will wipe out tribes and wildlife

@ScrubberDawg For 2 decades i’ve dug up too much in the human brain, and finally, in the past 2 years, i’ve discovered things that sometimes i wish i didn’t knew.
After 20 years it’s been a true relief, but it also brought sadness – i feel sorry for the human species, all my hopes that i’ve built in 20 years have been completely shattered in just 2 years – there is simply no hope, human species is tens of thousands of years behind technological progress, and this (technological progress) is the only thing that give us the illusion of evolution, but is just that, an illusion.
And you want to tell me that we can advance tens of thousand of years in just a few years…!?
Well, good luck with that – i just hope i am wrong!

We need more people in power to think like her.
The right of every person to pursue their dreams and wishes is important… but people all to often forget that society is also very important.
Alone we are nothing. We rely on other people for supplying us with food for example…. otherwise we’d need to grow/hunt our own food and couldn’t pursue our hobbies and so on.
This kind of freedom requires a lot of responsibilities…. not just taking… people also need to give back. Even if they don’t see the results.
