Do what you can, so when the end comes you know you did your part. Go vegan, ride a bike, vote left, shop ethically. It does a lot to curb the unease.
Living in ignorance is hardly healthy though. You'll only be caught flat footed when the bad shit finally catches up to you. How long that takes is a matter of luck and privilege, for some people it's sooner rather than later.
