Weekly Observations 26th June - 2nd July: What signs of collapse do you see in your region?
As suggested in this post we will try out to establish a weekly observations thread. Share whats happening in your hometown, region or country that might not be in the focus of international media!
Please provide a general location. For Example:

Ontario, Canada/the city of Ottawa subreddit - holy shit, this is the current-top-level comment/thread on a post in the Ottawa subreddit commenting on the wild weather they got yesterday.
If that’s not mainstream collapse awareness, I don’t know what is.

I am so exhausted over climate grief.
Yesterday I went on a gorgeous hike, and I saw tons of insects. Baby frogs, dozens of them! Orioles and pelicans. It was lovely. But even when I'm surrounded by nature, I can't help but think, "How many more generations of pelicans will there be? What about frogs? This is the first oriole I've seen in a couple of years; is it my last one?"
It's like we're living in a nightmare.
Climate grief can be incredibly draining and I have suffered it as well (I still feel it sometimes but I am mostly over it). I always suggest talking about these things with someone who is close to you like family or a friend. However, I am also aware that many people are either unaware or outright in denial so it can be hard to find someone IRL. As an online resource, I can recommend the Collapse Support Discord. They have chats for venting, weekly collapse support group calls and many other resources for people who suffer from climate grief or distress.
Here's the invite: https://discord.gg/MQzqebGW
You're a peach. Thank you for responding, and for the resource. <3
Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Despite it raining all day, we're under an air quality alert from the Canadian wildfire smoke. The warning is going to last into tomorrow. And it started almost a week ago. I opened up my windows and I swear I could smell the smoke. There's just a haze no matter where you look.
