>Just because you're very convinced doesn't mean you can easily convince others, your attempt might even be hijacked by populists that are more than keen to capitalise on people's fear of change.
It's a fight for what is important. There's no other way.
> Not everyone wants to be an activist, and you have billions of others to convince.
You don't need to strike in front of the white house anymore. There are different ways to participate - like creating a video blog with a big team behind each video: infographics, analysis, video editing, motion graphics, news about climate disasters, explaining why all those researches are important and what those numbers mean, translate and voice in different languages. Tiktok, Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, HackeRank.
But, as it was said in another comment, it's easier to "press the eco button on your solar powered dishwasher".
> Maybe you can convince USA to clean up, what about China, India, and Russia?
Corporations are influenced by money and money only. You increase the taxes in developed countries on "bad products"(or stop the import completely on nonessential things) - you get the result. All the buyers of China, India and Russia are in developed countries, one way or another. But there is a price to pay - poor people in developed countries will become even more poor, although, this effect also can be downplayed by fighting for the rights of workers.
>Anyway, I'm not here to argue, just trying to offer some counterpoints.
And thank you for that, I appreciate it.
