It’s been a rough few weeks for me, especially since I’m studying about climate change. I feel like we all need to really start making serious changes in how we live our lives and rethink the worth of the expectations we have for our lives. Serious changes would mean things like selling our big houses and buying smaller ones, downsizing and downshifting into a smaller life so we can spend less, eat less, consume less. If enough people did this, the tide would really turn.
