Collapse isn’t some event that will happen far-off in the future or to people in some distant country. All of us are feeling the impacts of collapse. But it’s not too late for all of us—individually & collectively—to do what we can to transform how we live & create a better world despite collapse.

Ebola's fatality rate is over 44%. Measles in the US is at a 35-year high. COVID & whooping cough are increasing. And on & on. Masking is a fundamental personal & public health tool that all of us should be consistently using. Masks save lives. If you’re not masking, what are your stumbling blocks?

The world is literally on fire. This is insanity. And it was preventable. See: currentwildfires.com/en/

The simple truth is that none of us will survive & thrive through collapse without relying on & looking out for each other. Building community & mutual aid in multispecies neighborhoods & beyond is one of the most important actions we can take. What’s one small step you’ve taken to build community?

We keep a 5-gallon food-grade bucket full of bulk packets of the organic spices we use most. Not only is buying spices in bulk cheaper, it creates less packaging & means that when there are supply-chain issues, we can still season our food (or trade w/ neighbors for other supplies we might need).

We’ve been taught to ignore or hide the consequences of our actions—including of our consumer choices. But the cruelty & harm persist. By embracing choices founded on compassion, justice, liberation & accountability, we can transform how we live & create a better world for all beings and the earth.

Collapse resilience includes stripping away the power of corporations by not buying their stuff & making the most of our resources. One simple option is making your own deodorant. Our family uses a simple mix of organic corn starch & baking soda. Try some of the countless recipes out there.

When the need for evacuation happens—wildfires, storms, chemical spills, extended outages—you won’t have time to hunt for essentials. Create an evacuation checklist now: food, water, meds, important documents, ID, pet supplies, phone + chargers, maps, etc., & note where each item is stored.

Despite what the current dominant culture wants us to believe, humans aren’t meant to go it alone. We’re social beings who literally need each other to survive & thrive. As the modern world continues to collapse, it’s vital that we embrace mutual aid, reciprocity, kindness, generosity, enoughness.

Creating a more just, resilient world requires transforming our worldviews. Kimmerer’s book offers wisdom and insight for shifting how we humans can become “intentional communities of mutual self-reliance and reciprocity.” While we strongly disagree w/ her "Honorable Harvest," this is worth reading.

Refusing to cooperate w/ systems that exploit people, animals & the planet only works if we simultaneously create alternatives that meet our individual & collective multispecies needs: mutual aid, community care, shared food, habitat protection, etc. Resistance & reinvention go hand-in-hand. ✋🐾🌍💚

Republicans are trying to pass a new rule to hurt more people. “2 CFR Part 200” would require every federal grant to be subject to review by a Trump “political appointee” & would affect everything from Medicaid, to schools, workforce programs, transportation & nonprofits. (🧵 1/3)

We’ve been taught that we need to buy animal & fossil fuel-based products to improve garden fertility, but there are many plant-based resources available—often in our own yards! Learn Veganic has a terrific free handout of materials that can build soil, feed plants, & help our gardens thrive.

Billionaires, corporations, and legislators keep telling us that things have to be done a certain way. But more people are shining a light on better alternatives that bring us closer to a more just and resilient world. ✋ 🐾 🌍 💚 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/d...

It’s clear we can’t depend on government/corporations to take meaningful action to address the climate crisis. It’s up to us. Part of that is accepting that to survive & thrive in our new reality means revolutionizing how we live on Earth—& how we resist all that's exploitative & destructive.

#CollapseResilience Challenge: map nearby surface water sources in your neighborhood: streams, lakes, swimming pools, water features, water heaters, etc. Always filter + sanitize before drinking. Plan now so you're ready when crisis hits. ✋ 🐾 🌍💚

It’s time to stop pretending that it will only take some changes within our current systems to make everything okay. It’s time to let go of the ways founded on cruelty, exploitation, violence & power & build new ways founded on compassion, liberation, respect, justice, generosity & resilience.

A friend turned a closet into essential food storage. We’ve added shelves in odd spaces, thrifted a pantry & swapped a treadmill for a chest freezer. Even small homes have hidden storage spots for #CollapseResilience: closets, walls, under beds. Scan your home for options & tell us what you find.

Trees and greenery can cool cities by as much as 18°C – but only if they’re the right type

A new study has shown that more vegetation is not automatically better.

We’re trained from infancy to believe we need lots of stuff—and that when someone else has more, so should we. If people, animals & the planet are to survive (& thrive), we need to shed the old, destructive narratives we’ve been taught & embrace the ethical principle of “enough.”

We’re learning to use cool tools like silicone freezer trays to freeze batches of homemade ingredients—like beans, rice, and quinoa—to keep in handy portions in the freezer. Being able to buy and batch freeze foods in bulk saves us money, increases convenience, and builds food security.

Big Ag has discovered that by funding academic researchers, they can mislead the public: Public health researchers found that industry-funded studies are 16x more likely to “draw positive conclusions" about eating meat than independent research. It's essential we shift to plant-based ag.

A recent study shows that up to 98% of meat & dairy sustainability pledges are “deceptive or intentionally misleading” greenwashing. Key to #CollapseResilience is adopting practices that support the wellbeing of people, animal & the planet—including by shifting to ethical plant-based agriculture.

98 per cent of meat and dairy sustainability pledges are greenwashing

The food industry has made big promises to reduce emissions and become more sustainable, but a review concludes that many of the pledges are not backed up by evidence
