[You can still start it this year](https://www.reddit.com/r/growingclimatehope/comments/p47syl/reminder_now_august_is_the_last_time_slot_in/). It doesn't have to be big, or cost much, or take much time. There is something incredibly soothing about a small plant growing, its scent on the clean air, knowing you are growing your own food that you can eat if the supermarket overwhelms you, that this food is safe and guilt-free.

I made [a subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/growingclimatehope) mostly because climate change was worsening my anxiety to a degree I found paralysing, and I wanted a place for hope. I hope it helps some people here, too.
