BEING A JOYFUL ENVIRONMENTALIST:

on


Happy New Year! It's 2021 and I'm going to start with a very important post: how to be an environmentalist- without letting all the facts and figures weigh you down.

It's easy to lose hope in any situation; but when it comes to the Climate Crisis it is easy to bury your head in a pillow and pretend it isn't happening. But that doesn't stop it. For me, if I don't do anything, the guilt will be worse than the exhaustion. So I keep going, even if it often feels that nothing I am doing will ever make a difference. Because I have to.

There is an important point to make here: I don't want to have to do tis. I would much rather all species on Earth live in harmony, blah blah blah etc you get the idea. Sadly it doesn't work that way. So that's why its important to hold on to hope. There's no use working really really really hard and then becoming so exhausted and burnt out that you can't carry on. 

The solution is to, quite literally, take a break. Choose a weekend and just don't think about it. You can still take your metal straw, refuse a plastic bag etc; just try not to think about it. You will find that when you are done, you can go back to whatever it is you are doing with a much better outcome!

That's all for today, I hope everyone has had a wonderful beginning to 2021!

    Hi Esther! I'm so glad you liked my blog. I loved yours too. It would be great if you could share it because I don't have any social media so it is hard to share this. If you want, I can post your blog's link on here and share it with some people I know who would like it as well? Ayla :D
