So basically any effort a single individual has done and can do in the future to reduce their footprint has been undone by 100x. Why are we even bothering?
I feel that.
But just to say it: Because it's still the right thing to do, and if we didn't, it would just be that much worse.
There's no denying the best thing people can do for the planet isn't recycling, etc - it's voting.
Yeah i do agree that it should be still done, even if just to keep ones surroundings cleaner, just the pretending that it has a notable impact is disingenuous, kinda annoying and misdirects attention from things that can have at least some impact, aka yeah voting.
