I do recycle and do what I can... I just hold no delusions that I'll save the planet by doing that while corporations literally pollute per day 100x over what I can recycle in a lifetime.
If 1000 of us were to die tomorrow, dropping out pollution to zero, I would not make up for a single Kardashian private flight to spare her from 40 mins traffic
But you and me and sunzu up there and the rest of us combined on this thread do make a difference. You matter.
Don’t allow perfect to be the enemy of the good.
Which is why I do recycle and do other stuff... But we cannot reverse the damage, we cannot even slow it down by ourselves. We must be realistic about that
It's like washing your hands after pooping, it's not going to cure cancer but it definitely would prevent some bouts of illness for yourself and others
Or perhaps it’s like wastewater treatment, where we collectively realized we all poop and somehow we need to clean up the waste to still have clean water.
In that case, what's the proper solution?
A treatment plant or putting a cork up all butts?
That's exactly the point and not the one I think you think you are making.
Of course if we all reduce, reuse, recycle we can help... But we will never stop the damage, let along reverse it, if we do not hold corporations to account
