We have created a new group on Daily Kos and you are invited!
Many of you may have seen Angmar’s Rec-Listed diary, Continued Plummeting Insect Numbers "Threaten a Collapse of Nature" on Wednesday, July 17. Such news is certainly enough to cause some anxiety about the Climate Crisis, but to solve it, we have to face it! To that end, in Angmar’s diary is a link to the International Extinction Rebellion and its Declaration regarding the Ecological Crisis. They recommend, as part of our nonviolent rebellion against the governmental forces that want to ignore the climate crisis, that participants create a working regenerative culture to support each others’ needs.
To this end, from our Profile Page:
We will meet the challenges of our times by fighting negativity and creating a more beautiful world. We know we are in a marathon, not a sprint, so we need to take care of ourselves to take care of our neighbors and our world. The Regenerative Culture for an Altered Planet group is intended to joyfully embrace diversity and to care for the physical, mental, emotional, and cultural needs of all those who are building a better world. We are solutions focused.
Tackling climate change is a big job that is going to require every person on the planet, but we will do it together! The purpose of these diaries will be not only to discuss individual lifestyle changes, but to address the big issues. Commitment is needed not only at the individual level, but by businesses and governments. So we will also inform people about larger community activities and global activities that we can join.
Current plans call for regular community diaries on subjects such as organic gardening, seed saving, vegetarian recipes, downsizing, small houses, the Extinction Rebellion, walking, biking, public transportation, renewable energy, biodiversity, agriculture, and maybe even a music night.

This is a group effort. Thank you for input, occupystephanie, J Graham and Angmar!
