My complaint is that it should be self evident that we're over using the planet's resources, and that we should take steps to reduce that.
But people don't care, or are even actively working against it. Because it doesn't inconvenience them right here, right now.
When it does, it'll be too late.
- tw1010 9y agoWhen something "should" be true, but isn't, a better course of action than to wish things were not the way they are, is to take it upon ourselves to fix the thing, to educate those we're in touch with who don't get it, in as patient and pedagogical and understanding a way as possible. If we don't do this, then we have no right to complain.
