REBELLION week... what to make of it all?

I feel bombarded at the moment, and even slightly overwhelmed, with the amount of climate change activism happening in this last week and inevitably in the one to come. I can't help but say that I hope that you are too, because that'll mean you're  aware of the 'sixth mass extinction'* and climate change awareness popping up all over social media. *we are not killing the planet so much as the abiotic conditions on it which host us, the human race!  Don't get me wrong, I am all for it!  But I see a lot of people turn away in disbelief, denial, or inability to concentrate on the topic long enough to entertain a conversation. Those that understand the massive problem on our doorstep will usually make a stand and a statement, but we really, desperately , need to take this further. With Extinction Rebellion occupying major spots of London, the protesters  are doing what they can with what they have, in the capitalist society of today, to make a drastic change.
