I found this interesting and it raised points I hadn't seen before.

I kept getting overwhelmed trying to track my personal climate impact.

I ended up building a small app for myself to make it more practical.

I’m curious: how do you personally stay motivated with climate action without burning out?

Hi Luisa,
Welcome to Permies!

I think starting small and focusing on things that you can do, is a good place to start. Paul has an interesting book called Build a Better World in Your Backyard - Instead of being angry at bad guys which has some pretty good insight.

On a personal note, I believe that this world was designed to handle fluctuations and be able to adjust over time. So I do what I can, and I trust the rest will be taken care of.

So it takes a day for light to pass through this glass? So this was yesterday's tiny ad?

It's a bit like "run away to the circus" but for gardeners
