Natural gas prices have doubled in the last 12 months
If your gas heat is shut off by the utility company, this guy can show you an easy way to turn it back on yourself. Once the little lock is off, just use a crescent wrench to open the gas line to the house + you’re good to go

And this is why it is all the more important to regulate one's own news intake and engage with activism in a feasible, healthy way. This is why I encourage local action and things like community gardening so much - federal policy is such an existential monster to so much of us. You CAN'T and should not be EXPECTED to care about everything at once, we are not designed to do that. Is not being negligent or avoidant by focusing on one thing you can work on and impact greatly.

I don't know if I've talked about this explicitly, but I've become greatly aware this semester that I am handling the weight of the world much better than some of my fellow environmental students. I was confused at first - after all many of these are kids who are much richer than I am and come from fuller families and can afford to do things like ski. But I realized a lot of these are people who have no way to interact with the world in a visibly positive manner. Sure, they can ski, they can hike, but all this does to them in isolation is remind them of the weight on their own shoulders and their own impact. These aren't kids who are doing campus activism. These aren't kids who are working in the garden with me. They are so enshrouded in despair and become convinced that the only way they can do *any* good is to be hired by a solar company once they graduate.
When you focus on something like a community garden, you can SEE your impact. You can see the bees. You can see the food harvested that goes to the food bank. You can see the fruits of your own labor. Having something like this - and I have noticed the students who hunt and fish do feel similarly - to center your attention and activism in a feasible way is *so* important.
