That comment stumped me for such a long time Lemon!
How does anything I do help save the planet?
We live in a world where aeroplanes dump tons of fuel into the upper atmosphere on a daily basis, and I am supposed to be frugal with my car travel,
there's oil spills and rampant pollution and I'm not supposed to litter,
the Amazon Rainforest is being butchered to allow palm oil plantations and cattle ranchs, and I am supposed to plant a tree!
It's so terribly depressing!
I've thought about it a great deal and probably the only real thing I can do to make a difference is to donate money to those schemes that help people out of the poverty trap. The idea is that people that have wealth are secure enough not to have 20 kids,
have time for leisure and develop a social conscience
and start cleaning up their communities and demand from their politicians
a greener attitude towards their governance.
In my lifetime, for the planets sake,
I sure hope so!
