A two tile comic, both showing a couple watching the news in front of a TV. 1st tile: "If we don't continue to buy stuff the way we always have, the economy will collapse." 2nd tile: "If we continue to consume the way we always have, we'll destroy the environment and the planet."

It is what it is… 🤷

#OvershootOverkill

"Rage, #rage against the scope of it all.

for our own...

#downfall."

Don’t fall into the #hope trap - seek #courage instead!
