Despair and disinterest are the easy way out. It's not clever. I'm grateful that my ancestors didn't give up so easily.

  And what are you doing with what you've inherited? (Both the planet and that not-giving-up mentality)

    I'm not exactly sure what your question is. Do you mean how am I showing a different behaviour to despair and disinterest? Firstly, just because I think we should not be doing one thing, doesn't mean I am doing the other thing perfectly. I am as human as the next person. I'm not massively engaged with politics, climate change, etc, but I have a family and daughter. Caring about people, especially younger people, is a way that I don't write off the future. I also really enjoy wildlife and being outside, and support two different conservation charities. My wife supports a couple of different children's charities. It's not a lot (I'm not activist hero), but it's something. Of course, if someone wanted to say that the above amounts to nothing, and I'm a hypocrite, then they are welcome to think as much.
