Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Great video, and I watched it to the end. Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely show this one to my students and kids, too.

That said, they did conclude the video saying that we can individually contribute at the polls (should be obvious) and with our wallets, by:

  • Eating less meat
  • Flying less
  • Shifting to electric vehicles (and heat pumps and so on—from earlier in the video, by buying low-emission technologies when they're a bit more expensive to further their development and bring down the costs of production)

Sure, individuals can't effect huge change in systems by shifting their individual consumer choices, but developed-nation governments are selected by individuals at the polls. We need to make it a political death sentence to ignore climate change.

Thanks for the very well put and thought through answer. Certainly a lot more than I contributed. Just wanted to know it's appreciated. Have a great Friday! ❤️
