Stop cutting your lawns and dig a pond. It's not going to stop industrial scale destruction, but it's something actionable that you can do yourself and see the positive impact right at home. If enough homes do it, a network of gardens can become a macro system.

Idk my artificial monoculture of non-native grasses kept immaculately trimmed and racially pure with toxic chemicals applied regularly makes me feel better than my neighbors' artificial monoculture of non-native grasses kept immaculately trimmed and racially pure with toxic chemicals applied regularly.

That is how my daddy did it and that is how his daddy did it and their generations haven't set any cultural precedents that have been incredibly predictably devastating to life and the biosphere as far as I can tell in these recordbreakingly hot and insect free times. I mean sure, those other places are experiencing historic climate events, but that is just part of normal climate cycles that haven't existed in millennia.
