Now that we all dont buy american products anymore and dont use their programs and services, i want to do something more, but i dont have any ideas. Please write some! :)

I thought i would put my old things which stood around for months, on websites similar to Ebay. I also thought about recycling them, but to that would be a waste since they still have a worth.

We (as family) decided to show face and purchased some EU merch. Yesterday we raised our new 150x100cm^2^ EU-flag. Also we started putting stickers on our vehicles, like the EU flag and in EU blue/yellow Love Life, Live Free. Small things, but we feel bit better through this.

Regarding your sale of old things, although not having used it by myself, I have heard good things about European https://www.vinted.com/ , maybe it works for your region and purpose.

What else can be done:

remain positive
spread the word and talk to friends and families about what is important to you and why
trust in well-founded science and facts and help spreading those facts against lies and propaganda
if your are a techie, you can help friends and family to use Linux on their PCs, instead of upcoming Win11
not sure how this can work, but it would help to free as many people from big tech "social media" as possible
