I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as to what a software engineer could do to help fight against climate change? I'd love to know if there is a way I could help.

* Don't participate in environmentally unfriendly blockchain stuff.

* Vote for climate leaders

* Get others to vote. Participation rates are dismal.

* Vote local, too. Change needs to be bottom-up just as much as top-down.

Local is a great point. There's significant environmental actions to be had at the municipal level that requires environmentalist city councillors.

eg. Building more safe, separated bike lanes is a simple and relatively cheap thing for municipalities to do. It increases cycling ridership, helps take cars off the road, lowering CO2 emissions.
