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

 @9LJ8LVYSocialist from California answered…2wks2W

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

 @9LMY26T from Kansas disagreed…1wk1W

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

 @9LMVWCQIndependent from Indiana agreed…1wk1W

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. .

 @9LMVGXXDemocrat from Illinois disagreed…1wk1W

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…1wk1W

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.

 @9LH3WXP from Michigan answered…2wks2W

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

 @9LLLTQ4 from Michigan disagreed…2wks2W

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…2wks2W

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…2wks2W

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…2wks2W

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

 @9KZNWGGLibertarian from Georgia answered…1mo1MO

They are right, countries like china and India produce so much pollution.

 @9L22WF6 from Pennsylvania disagreed…1mo1MO

While it is true that the biggest contributors to climate change are large corporations with few restrictions from governmental bodies around the world, every small change adds up. Furthermore, we vote with our dollars. Therefore, if you and the people around you all stop, for example, purchasing single use plastic products, the overall level of single use plastic usage will decrease.

 @9L2RNYW from Kansas disagreed…1mo1MO

Any decision to aid in reducing the effects of climate change helps everyone. The problem will never be fully solved, but that shouldn't stop people from being good humans.

 @9L24XZK from Ohio disagreed…1mo1MO

Every single contribution counts. Even if your action only set the threshhold a second back, it's still a second of bought time.

 @9L2472CIndependent from Kentucky disagreed…1mo1MO

One small action can encourage others to do the same thing and start a chain reaction. While your one action in it of itself is not going to save the planet, doing so encourages others to take action.

 @9KTLKJY from Kansas answered…2mos2MO

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

 @RobinHoudeDemocrat from Georgia disagreed…1mo1MO

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

 @9KTQDQDProgressive from Florida disagreed…2mos2MO

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.

 @9KTQB5D from Florida disagreed…2mos2MO

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.

 @9KTPQD7 from Colorado disagreed…2mos2MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

 @9KJZXZDfrom Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

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.

 @9KK2MXH from North Carolina answered…2mos2MO

Trying to recycle more or use more eco friendly products where possible.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @9L2PN93 from Indiana answered…1mo1MO

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

 @9L2Y8PN from Iowa agreed…1mo1MO

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

 @9L2Q63K from California answered…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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

 @9KK6QVMfrom Pennsylvania answered…2mos2MO

due to climate change the earth is getting hot and could result in a global warming crisis. sea levels would rise and it would be a total disaster

 @9KK68BYRepublican from Wisconsin answered…2mos2MO

 @9KK63KT from Illinois answered…2mos2MO

Might affect the weather causing it to be hotter, this can affect us people because it can harm us or affect our health.

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

 @9KZXJ59answered…1mo1MO

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

 @9L24449 from North Carolina agreed…1mo1MO

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…1mo1MO

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.

 @9KZXNVBanswered…1mo1MO

 @9KZXZ5Z from North Dakota answered…1mo1MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

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…2mos2MO

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

 @9KM4NM2  from Louisiana answered…2mos2MO

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

 @9KLR7FN from Kansas answered…2mos2MO

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.
