> individual action is important.
This is critically important, but the mindset of the population need to change for it to be effective. If everyone have the same mindset, things will start to change.
Imagine doing a simple thing like reducing your shower time by 25% or reduce your TV watching time by 25%. With enough people doing it, its impact will be significant.
- Vinnl 8y agoI think that's the primary reason why individual action is important: because it achieves the mindset change. Or at least, is a prime motivator in changing other people's mindsets.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoIndividual action can have an effect, but those are bad suggestions that will have negligible effect unless adopted almost universally. Things like driving less, flying less, eating less meat and buying/throwing away less stuff are things where individual actions can actually make a difference. Watching less TV doesn't accomplish anything other making you feel like you are taking action. If you want to make a small change that will actually accomplish something, try taking public transportation or biking to work one day a week or eating vegetarian one day a week.
