sushux, a hopeful three-page comic about climate change and getting ready for an oil-free future.

I'm doing what I can. I haven't owned a car since 2002. I get around mostly by bike, occasionally by transit or a ride from someone. I do my best to reduce, reuse, repair, recycle. I don't know if we're collectively gonna make it, but I might as well live according to my values along the way.
On a "repair" side-note, I've been taking clothes to be altered, mostly to replace or add waist elastic, and to shorten tights, where I don't want to deal with zig-zag stitching to keep them stretchy. I've always thought of it as making the item cost more, but really it's like getting a whole new wardrobe (that fits!) for not nearly as much as buying new clothes, if I could even find clothes that fit me in the waist and are the right length.
Plus I'm helping keep the alterations shop in business. I like the Hmong woman who runs it. I think a lot about supporting local businesses and getting local food at the farmer's market and weaving stronger community with my dollars.
How are you dealing with climate change? Are you ignoring it? Adapting in some ways? Doing your bit to help fight it?
