    34. What is the best way to take action on climate change?

    So many choices. So many ways to help. But which option is best? Do you often experience paralysis by analysis? It's when you try to make a decision, but get presented with so many options that you literally go round and round in circles, unable to make a final call, stuck in the comparison space. Indecision usually leads to procrastination and a distinct lack of progress. This phenomenon can occur during tasks as small as buying a pair of jeans, right up to making large investments like buying a car, buying a house, or as we'll discuss in this episode – choosing how to ‘do your part' to help the climate crisis. Presented with uninspiring (and often expensive) choices, it's easy to fall into a state of paralysis, where personal climate crisis solutions fall into the ‘maybe-one-day' wish bucket. Fear not! There is light at the end of the tunnel… Let me present two arguments that can help you move from a paralysis mindset to a place of action. Where your internal morals align with your daily choices and activities. A place where you can feel proud of your contribution, without having to spend thousands of dollars in the process.
