I care enough about the environment that it is truly a pity I wont live long enough to see the big oil CEOs dragged out onto the street and decapitated when they irreversibly fuck up the planet.
That's a big problem in achieving progress with things like this. When a lot of people have that thought nothing happens. "My contribution would be tiny, it won't mean much if I'm the only one doing it so I won't bother." Thing is that in all honesty no big contribution exists, it's all made up out of cumulative tiny contributions.veloper said:You can eat less meat I guess, but when you're the only one doing it, all you're really achieving is loss of weight.
Realistically though, it would take diaster to move into the general population hearts for effective change in their consumption and personal bad habits. Just like the Minneapolis bridge collapse that forced the US government to take immediate action addressing our deteriorating critical infrastructure. And as someone who lives near a major American urban center, I honestly don't see a general positive attitude towards the enviornment. I can walk outside and see the empty junk food bags from the corner store, dropped by people passing by my parents house. And lets not even get started with public bathrooms.Cowabungaa said:So if people collectively aren't going to be okay with making a small contribution and realize that it's only because of that that we can ever achieve large-scale change, nothing is going to change. After all, farms and factories are only there because people want their stuff.
