Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

Can we gut Jeff?
Get any an all relatives you have to stop using Amazon, if they do.
My mom is off the grid and she has me order things through Amazon for her occasionally.
Am gonna have to talk to her and see if I can get the items she likes, from different sources.
Even if you do stop using Amazon directly, AWS is their real money maker and still runs an obscene amount of the internet.
Boycotts are notoriously ineffective, especially if they aren't organized, especially if they don't have a set goal. Boycott all you like but don't waste your valuable energy you could be spending organizing, getting involved in local advocacy, joining/building a union and preparing for the revolution - it's coming sooner or later
Oh yeah.. but NGL, it's the little actions that can snowball. If I can get mom to get her friends groups to move away from Amazon (she only found the items she likes by hearing from a friend that uses Amazon) and opt for secondary sources.. I'll start with that and for sure, am already networking with friends and businesses locally to get people engaged in stopping this goose-stepping march into the 4th Reich we're on..
