This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Listened to a piece on the radio about how Mount Rainier is losing significant amounts of ice. Many cascading impacts are possible in my opinion. Made a submission for this news here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1227469
Today while out walking, I met a middle aged woman and we struck up a conversation. She expressed frustration with how her environmental efforts frequently meet road blocks especially when those road blocks are capitalistic in nature. I reminded her that we need to appreciate our successes where we can get them, even if they are small. Overall good conversation, even if we both acknowledged the defeats we've experienced.
