Now that we all dont buy american products anymore and dont use their programs and services, i want to do something more, but i dont have any ideas. Please write some! :)

I thought i would put my old things which stood around for months, on websites similar to Ebay. I also thought about recycling them, but to that would be a waste since they still have a worth.

We (as family) decided to show face and purchased some EU merch. Yesterday we raised our new 150x100cm^2^ EU-flag. Also we started putting stickers on our vehicles, like the EU flag and in EU blue/yellow Love Life, Live Free. Small things, but we feel bit better through this.

Regarding your sale of old things, although not having used it by myself, I have heard good things about European https://www.vinted.com/ , maybe it works for your region and purpose.

What else can be done:

  • remain positive
  • spread the word and talk to friends and families about what is important to you and why
  • trust in well-founded science and facts and help spreading those facts against lies and propaganda
  • if your are a techie, you can help friends and family to use Linux on their PCs, instead of upcoming Win11
  • not sure how this can work, but it would help to free as many people from big tech "social media" as possible
