Maybe look into becoming active with your local government. Help your community plan for what's clearly coming. Serve on a board or commission, and try to navigate the politics of keeping a bunch of primates focused on a task. Or just be a voice at the meetings, so the people who are in those decision making positions don't feel like there's no support for them doing the things that need to be done. It's not easy work, you won't get any cool gadgets or greywater systems out of it, but it's very much what humanity needs most right now.
