My problem is that I'm too easily offended. For example, I'm offended by people that think their minor contribution can make no meaningful difference, apparently forgetting that they are one of over 330 million people in their country who are all making this decision one way or another.
We might step this logic on: I might as well throw this wrapper out the car window, this tiny piece of waste makes no meaningful difference to the tonnes of rubbish on the road side. Then eventually getting to: I might as well pull the trigger, it will make no meaningful difference to the death toll.
Individual choices can make a difference. Our individual voices choosing to waste or not to waste become a collective force that drives the capitalist economy that chooses whether to implement efficient technologies or wasteful technologies. Which of course brings us to politics and so maybe I should shut up.
