What would you say to someone who believes their actions are too small to make a difference for the environment?

 @9KTLKJY from Kansas  answered…1yr1Y

They are correct, China and India are the bad guys.

 @9KTPQD7 from Colorado  disagreed…1yr1Y

Everyone can make a difference by choosing to get involved in their local community and being mindful of where you’re spending money and time

 @RobinHoudeSocialist from Georgia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Climate change is caused by our collective actions and due to the Earth's population each individual's contribution is inherently tiny compared to the whole. Collective action is required to address climate change, but collective action is made up of individual actions. The more individuals who refuse to act, the smaller the collective action will be. The logic behind the idea that "since your individual actions are too small to matter you shouldn't even try" is the same as reasoning that "your individual vote doesn't decide the outcome of an election, there…  Read more

 @9KTQB5D from Florida  disagreed…1yr1Y

We all attribute to the environment, even if our actions our small, if we have enough small actions they will come together and be big.

 @9KTQDQDProgressive from Florida  disagreed…1yr1Y

If even a few more hundred thousand people thought like this, the numbers would eventually add up. This would result in peril for our environment.

 @9LJ8LVYSocialist from California  answered…1yr1Y

It is true, large corporations and unethical business practices are the reason for majority of the pollution.

 @9LMY26T from Kansas  disagreed…1yr1Y

your goals, dreams, aspirations, are only as big as the amount of effort you are willing to put in to make it happen.

 @9LMVGXXDemocrat from Illinois  disagreed…1yr1Y

No change no matter to small is useless everything starts form the bottom and if you want to make a change you got to make it happen

 @9LMTF75 from Louisiana  disagreed…1yr1Y

If everyone is thinks that they won't make a difference then there wont be one because everyone thinks they wont make a difference that's the issue.

 @9LMVWCQIndependent from Indiana  agreed…1yr1Y

Although we as the consumer have responsibility to be responsible on what we consumer and how we dispose of the product and are the reason the products are being consumed we are shouldn’t hold all the blame. As of 2022 Coca Cola produced 5.56 million metric tons into the environment. The typical person produces 20 tonnes in ones life time. 20 tonnes is a lot and we should shop and be sustainable but how how am I or all of us the sole contributors to climate change. This why I am a firm believer that companies should be held responsible. Like why should I have to use a paper straw while Coca Cola just dumps millions of co2 a year completely crazy and that’s just whats reported. .

 @9LH3WXP from Michigan  answered…1yr1Y

Cool just don't allow littering I hate finding trash in my corn fields

 @9LLLTQ4 from Michigan  disagreed…1yr1Y

Any action will still help. If you say that you aren’t enough, than everyone will think that and no one will help the environment.

 @9LHYJZD from Pennsylvania  disagreed…1yr1Y

This answer disregards the fallacious idea of small actions making no impact. The tone of both the person in question and answer is ignorant.

 @9LHYJBP from Indiana  disagreed…1yr1Y

I disagree because they just just care about what they dont want to see insteand of atually caring but the person and what they think and if someone doesent beliveve in there self then you should at lest act like you care about there opinnin,.

 @9LHWV4SPeace and Freedom from Pennsylvania  disagreed…1yr1Y

If a bunch of people make a little change it can be big. It IS the corporations though so put the stress on them

 @9LMC5JC from Tennessee  answered…1yr1Y

Anything helps. You have to care about your community and there is plenty to be done around you to make a difference.

 @9LNNMPR from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

Everyone should do their part in fighting climate change, but more than anyone Individually, corporations need to be held responsible and made to change their ways.

 @9LMV79R from Pennsylvania  agreed…1yr1Y

Change has to start somewhere, with such a vast group of people it has to start slowly and everyone pitches in at different levels

 @9LMTWP6Republican from Louisiana  agreed…1yr1Y

Helping your community doesn't have to be a big thing but something as small as picking up trash could make a difference.

 @9LMTCVP from New York  agreed…1yr1Y

If everyone has this mindset then things could change. Things need to be done on the producers end though. its not just the consumers

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What does 'going green' mean to you, and how realistic do you think it is to achieve in your community?

 @9KK2JKRWomen’s Equality from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

that there are gonna be "no plastic" and if we are careful and caring about our environment and animals they we should be able to use plastic and everything

 @9KK23C9 from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

 @9KJZXZDfrom Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

Ecologist is a ideology which derives from the fact that all humans will actually agree & fall into the idea. Which most people don't; consider the high obesity rate in America. People will not just, "go green," because of the government, they need incentive & time.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How would you feel if you had to live without your favorite technology to help the environment?

 @9L2PN93 from Indiana  answered…1yr1Y

upset, free country, limit restrictions palced on citizens, we are not producing enough CO2 for all that

 @9L2Y8PN from Iowa  agreed…1yr1Y

more restrictions should be placed on corporations, instead of the people to effectively help the environment

 @9L2Q63K from California  answered…1yr1Y

I think if it's really harming we need to find a better solution, but if it's only small we need to help but we don't need to band

 @9L5FFKGIndependent from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

Us as a society have relied on technology way too much, while it can be a benefit for generations it causes more harm than good. Living without technology would not only help environmental issues but also individuals.

 @9L2PVDM from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

i would feel very limited, the technology i have connects me to the world and without i would not know whats going on around me

 @9L2PNLH from South Dakota  answered…1yr1Y

If it helps the world and people around me, I will give up any device for them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you predict climate change will affect the sports or outdoor activities that you enjoy?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How does the thought of ocean life adapting to pollution make you feel, and what can we do about it?

 @9KZXJ59answered…1yr1Y

Marine life shouldn't HAVE to adapt to pollution, but if they do then that's great too.

 @9L24449 from North Carolina  agreed…1yr1Y

Pollution is a bad issue that we need to address urgently, but I do believe that it is a positive if marine life adapts as it can.

 @9KZY6QY from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

We should make sure that there is close to no pollution in the sea. It's something that ocean life should not have to deal with.

 @9KZXZ5Z from North Dakota  answered…1yr1Y

Fix it, they can’t just adapt to something that’s very harmful to them and the ones who are causing the harm

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you ever changed a habit because you learned it was harmful to the environment, and if so, what prompted that change?

 @9KLSYW6 from Virgin Islands  answered…1yr1Y

Recycling, stopping eating meat, and buying less wrapped products (or buying less, in general) were some of the habits that I tried to change in my life, although the big difference comes from big corporations changing their policies and framework to something more environmentally friendly.
However, changing came from seeing that my support for those corporations can help them grow bigger and perpetuate their malicious behavior, therefore, ceasing this behavior was a good way to stop feeding them my small amount of money. People started asking me why, and that would make them think about it, even though most of them were not that convinced, they would question again and again.

 @9KM8257 from California  agreed…1yr1Y

It makes me second guess a few actions and change in any way I can to make a small change, but I haven't changed that much since I know I have little effect on the destruction of the environment and it's mainly the fault of corporations, governments, and other high power individuals.

 @9KM6DT8 from Ohio  disagreed…1yr1Y

If the product is already manufactured than someone will buy it and use it. It will take more than just not buying something. It’s up to the companies themselves

 @9KLR7FN from Kansas  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, I changed whether I recycled or used certain materials while cooking, cleaning and other things around the house. I also try and save power and drive my car less because it is harmful to the environment.

 @9KM4NM2  from Louisiana  answered…1yr1Y

I have stopped leaving my sink turned on when brushing my teeth and don't typically use plastic straws.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What does the term 'environmental justice' mean to you, and why might it matter in your everyday life?

 @9KLTBZR from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

Getting justice for the earth and nature i think it matters in ever day use because we live on it and what we do what we take out of the ground buildings, destroying can affect later and people may not see it know taking care of nature and living it alone to do its purpose.

 @9KK5QPHSocialist from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

There should be justice for the coming generations who have to deal with/clean up the horrific environmental messes of those who came before us.

 @9KK5WCYPeace and Freedom from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

It means that we have to hold those accountable for greatly harming our environment that we have to live in day to day.

 @9KK5RW6 from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

It means treating everyone fairly no matter your race, income, nationality and social status.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you think there are ethical considerations to how we treat the environment?

 @9HKH7JQ from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes I do, whether or you believe climate change exists you should still respect the earth we live on. People who litter and don’t care about the line of trash they’re leaving behind them are truly ignorant.

How often do you think about where your food comes from, and what impact do you think its production has on the environment?

 @9KMZ6ZG from Florida  answered…1yr1Y

 @9KN2TSV from Kansas  answered…1yr1Y

Almost everyday. We are being poisoned by Food Producers so Big Pharma can sell more drugs. Foods sold in the US are banned in other countries.

No, if people want to be eco-friendly, they can as a group of citizens. It is a persons choice to do what they want.

 @9HDVL48 from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

corporations are primarily responsible for environmental damage, they should be required by the government to fix it through sanctions.
