Trying to make a difference is the main thing.

Yeah it is... but everyone is screaming at each other and putting each other down for "not making a difference enough."

Like, I had a friend get mad at me for buying a water bottle on a hot day it's like... cmon lady relax. Just because I bought a water bottle doesn't mean I'm Hitler.

And lastly, being enviormentally friendly is a luxury for those well off. Not something the empoverished can fix. If you are starving for food and shelter and hygiene then who gives a fuck about the planet? 63% of carbon emissions come from 3rd world countries that contain 20% of the world population. Its not my stupid water bottle ruining the planet. It's poverty.

Absolutely, needs to be fixed from the top down.
