    I’d love nothing more than to have solar panels and a home battery to help save the planet but I can’t even afford my rent. How the fuck àm I supposed to buy a home and also I stall solar. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t think that it’s self centered thinking that’s the problem, personally.

      We all need to do what we can, even when it’s just little things like buying less plastic or considering sustainable groceries.

      Right now, the US is one of the bigger culprits in the world, and a great place to start is to vote for people who actually want to do something for our planet.
