“We are told to turn off the tap, sort our trash, and take public transit. Meanwhile, the global economy pumps millions of dollars every second into fossil fuels and deforestation." "It begs the uncomfortable question: If the systemic rules don't change, is our individual moral effort just a psychological placebo?”

another thing people think is that nature is useless. thats the reason they cut down trees. the reason they kill innocent animals. the reason they pollute mindlessly. and although individual effort can help, it wont be enough unless we actually take action. what people don't realize is that plants and animals provides food. trees provide oxygen. and while people worry about having 30 different mascaras, or a building with their name on it, they don't realize that what they are destroying keeps us alive too. at this rate, when people realize, it will bee too late to stop it.

We, as individuals, doing these small actions may not seem like much, but they do add up! If enough people are doing things to help our planet, it will have a larger positive affect on our planet. With that being said, it is still not as affective for just us to be doing these things. It's important that we fight big companies to be more eco friendly, and pressure the government to create change in society that would reduce the harm on our planet. That's why climate activists are so important, and why they continuously fight. And it's why we have to fight, too. Still, even if what you and I are doing makes the smallest of changes, it's worth continuing, right? At least, that's what I think.
