How can I convince more people to take action?

- my family and friends are not listening to me
- what they say makes me very angry
- majority of people go about their lives without caring
- "I find there is a huge issue with communicating the climate/bio crisis to people! I think the facts out there on LinkedIn etc are great, but it’s not communicated to the wider population.
"That goes for both the data and the solutions…people are uninformed or feel helpless. I think communication is a HUGE part of the solution…empowering people and giving them the data to make change. But NOT giving them the data and scaring them into inaction and causing doom-ism. We need to teach people the problem we are in, and the solution too!! "
"Even as someone experienced in communication and speaks on stage regularly, 1:1 conversations are difficult with people that I may disagree with. Especially with something that causes my heartrate to increase (because of anxiety, not excitement!). I tend to stay silent more often than I'd like, even amongst those close to me. In a way, although I've been a vocal climate and animal advocate for years, I'm prone to avoid, afraid of being outed as "that person". What do I do to help overcome this?"
