I'm pretty sure that Australia, Aussie Environment and Melbourne are some of the most active location based communities on Lemmy
The Melbourne community in particular. Crazy levels of interaction in those daily discussion threads.
Yeah Melbourne has been going crazy since the start, really amazing how much of a community they've established here
Plus we have to be vocal about the dangerous levels of DHMO in our water supply, excessive consumption can be fatal
Scientists predict ~80% of the human body is DHMO, when will the pollution stop?
What's DHMO? I know i can google but that's less engagement
Dihydrogen Monoxide http://www.bandhmo.org/
Ohhhh yeah everyone that has ever contacted it has died. It's really bad
15 of the next 17 posts in my Local feed are your posts to Environment 🤣
I applaud your commitment to the Community, and the Instance!
I like your posts, and appreciate the commitment to keeping things updated.
My folks are very environmentally conscious, to the point where most of my inheritance has been given / will be given to various environmental charities. I'm not mad - it's their money, they earned it, and trying to save the world is probably a better way of spending it than I would have done.
It does mean I can feel a bit comfortable about my slacktivism though.
They gave a good start in life. It's up to me to make the most of the opportunity.
Honestly I wish more families would take this approach. It would remove the problem of inter-generational wealth which is a huge problem in class divide.
There'd still be some discrepancy due to better assistance at the start of life, but at least it wouldn't be the unabridgable gap that exists now between the working class and extremely wealthy.
