I am angry. Angry that the politicians are more worried about their votes and not the only home we have. I see that the rich are getting richer and will be the only ones to survive climate change. I'm here explaining to my youngest child to be kind to our planet , conserve water and energy. Yet politicians and huge corporations could care less. I'm not sure how we're going to get them listen.

Thanks, Ginna, I hope voting is one way to make them listen.

I don't like big groups of people either so I'm unlikely to join any big protests. I love your cinema analogy. It is a crime!! And I think money is the reason it's not being prosecuted. This might be a simplistic view, but ... I don't think it's wrong. Love Holly. We need more people like her.

Seeing what's going on around the world, anger is starting to build up. I'm working on finding an outlet by joining one of the many initiatives.

I think there needs to be more anger and that anger needs to be put towards a push for change.

I think so too. I am not the type to get angry easily, but we don't get anywhere by just being frustrated. We have so many reasons to be angry, and yes, as you say, let's put that anger to good use and push for positive change.

I am angry because of the slow reactions of those in charge and not shy for expressing or sharing it. I am thankful to you for your constant dedication for saving nature, our planet and us.

I think the climate crisis would be given much more importance if we weren’t dealing with a soulless narcissist who refuses to accept he lost an election and continues to poison the US with his absurd lies about the election, covid vaccines, climate change and more. As I live in the fire area LA hills, I’m very concerned daily.

Yes, so true, and by dealing with media that keeps lying to his supporters, and by dealing with all those (still a minority though) that support him. I wrote about making good use of anger; unfortunately, there are many examples in the U.S. these days of making bad use of intentionally created anger amongst the population.

Somehow it feels good to feel the anger of others too. We are not alone. Thank you, Aimee!
