You collectively organize to make changes at a government level rather than a local one? That's why governments exist - You can't do anything mate. You must organize. > Why should I waste my life for other people that don't care at all and enjoy theirs? You are legit asking the question every single public servant has ever asked ever. How much do you actually care? If it's enough, then do something about it and get in government. If it's not, then so be it: you'll have to deal or try and elect politicians who show they actually recognize that our current methods are atrocious. > my government keep promising to make taxes on these but don't do anything, what should I do? Elect different politicians. If they can't get enough votes, try and convince people around you. If that doesn't work, run yourself. I know this may sound condescending - not my intention at all. I've just had the same thought process and my only real conclusion was: 1.) I could be apathetic and not care. This is what most people do. This works fine - I can be happy. 2.) I can work my self to death to try and improve things. If it doesn't work, at least I know I tried. If it does work, then I have succeeded. Just depends where your priorities are mate. Some people don't have option (2) at all. It's your call now. Personally I think that governments have been irresponsible and shifted these policies onto the people because they're unpopular. No one wants to be the guy instituting a carbon tax because there's plenty of anti-carbon tax rhetoric out there ready to annihilate you. Something you can do right now is start getting rid of that rhetoric. Informing yourself so you can take on those arguments with people might be another option
