Wow, maxs15 that really got to me. I totally used to think the exact same way, that saving the planet was all about those big protest moments. Seeing it turn into normal jobs your cousin and friend can actually do, that's the real change. Makes the whole thing feel way more possible, you know? Kinda wish my past self had seen that coming instead of feeling so helpless about it.

My buddy insisted on building a shed using only hand tools last year. He called it getting back to basics or something. A week in, his shoulder was so bad he slept sitting up. His wife finally made him rent a pneumatic nail gun. The whole thing was done in a day, and his respect for power tools went way up. Sometimes your body just votes against your pride.
