Is anxiety a normal response to the world that young people are growing up in?

The mantra for humans since agriculture has basically been "Go forth and be plenty". Whereas now, many young people are growing up hearing about overpopulation, climate change, accumulating plastic pollution, rising inequality, and sooo many other issues. Meanwhile, we've watched the world take baby steps to address them. It's basically business as usual.

Many of us don't want children because we are uncertain about the future, and we are deeply concerned about our own fate. Is it more delusion to be unconcerned, or to be anxious and depressed? Is it about simply managing it and still being able to have a productive life?

Hey! I think you're awesome. I've donated a kidney anonymously too. I plan to eventually try to donate a piece of liver, but I've heard that some surgeons are hesitant to perform the surgery if you've already donated a kidney. Was it difficult to find a hospital that would do this?

His answer was vapid but I'm really curious to hear more about food and life up there. I'm from Victoria, BC, so I imagine it's a world away from what you can grow. Do you need a greenhouse for most crops? Does it need to be heated? How much of your diet is hunted? Are there any wild plants that offer anything? How much of your diet is staples grown elsewhere? Do you have good veggies year-round?

Cool idea! I'm no expert but I'm wondering what your reasons are for not structuring as a non-profit, say like Kiva?

I don't see why the service you provide couldn't be non-profit, while the investments could generate revenue.

To me, something seems off when you're saying it's all about the planet and stopping climate change and getting everyone involved, and yet you're trying to capitalize on it. From what I can see though, if I wanted to do it for the money I could get a better return elsewhere for essentially the same thing.

Knowing my carbon footprint reduction isn't very important to me. Being able to pick specific projects isn't very important to me either. Those things seem kinda gimmicky.

I didn't downvote you, but you didn't really answer my question. Solar investments do generate revenue, yes, but if I understand you, you're wanting to generate revenue from other peoples' investment in solar. I'd be more inclined to get involved if you weren't trying to make money off of ME. And to be clear, I'm not at all suggesting your team shouldn't be paid well, as they could be in a non-profit.

I am mulling it over though, there's plenty that I don't understand about all this. As it stands, I wouldn't get involved.
