Every single person can make a difference. As for other people, teach them. Show them why they should care, and if they won't listen, teach children. Teach the next generation that what those did before them was wrong and that they can make things better. Children's minds are more open than adult minds.
I know right! I'm currently teaching pre-school and studying, and it amazes me whenever I intoduce a relatively controversial subject to them, yet they accept things that adults refuse to!
We're not killing the planet; we're killing the planet's ability to sustain the human race. The planet survived catastrophic disasters just fine before we came along. Consider this: wildlife is thriving amidst the wreckage of Chernobyl despite the elevated cancer rates among humans living near the area. The planet will do just fine. As for us, we'll reap whatever we sew.
Except for our habitat destruction, genocide through hunting and poaching, the lethal impact of aquatic and air pollution, and the reduced diversity - and so health - of species due to intensive farming or selective breeding...
Were humans to vanish instantly at this exact moment, wildlife would survive; however, I have a sad feeling that, by the time humanity finally dies, we'll have taken much wildlife down with us.
I know! Let's all kill ourselves to save the planet! :D By the way - every time you smoke weed? You're destroying a green, living plant :( That makes the Earth sad. Oh, and the very smart phone or computer you used to make this post, was no doubt made by silica that was stripped mined from the Earth's crust.
And songofthewhitestag? Oh, how well you know that children's minds are malleable...
