How can I effectively address the Climate and Biodiversity Crisis?

The Climate and Biodiversity Crisis could be the greatest challenge humanity ever faces. Timothy Morton described it as a hyper object as it affects everything on the planet and over time scales far longer than any human life. So, how can we possibly feel like we can do anything meaningful about it?

Well, our feelings are not reality, they are how we feel about the world we see and, as just one person: you only see a tiny part of it.

However, collectively we have understood a huge amount about what is happening and how to address it effectively.
