We can no longer deny personal accountability
There is only so much one person can do, major polluters are responsible for the climate crisis. But with my skills and salary, I put to use 1% every month to reforestation, refugees, equal rights efforts and crisis aid.
I do not accept projects for automotive brands, gambling, the war industry and unethical AI.
No homophobia — No transphobia — No sexism — No racism — No climate change denialism — No hate —
