Seeing people posting about how they don’t personally have to do anything about climate change because corporations and governments need to do the bulk of the work. Listen, this problem is so big and pressing that every fucking person needs to pull their weight in addition to the corporations and governments who need to do the bulk of the work.

Collectively, the difference between you being someone who buys less, plants more, eats more ethically, recycles, takes totes into stores, uses mass transit or rides a bike and being a person who doesn’t do anything because you’ve decided it’s always someone else’s problem is fucking huge. That time you littered adds to the millions of other times other people littered. The time you left the water on while you brushed your teeth adds to the millions of other times other people left the water on while they brushed their teeth.

You influence people. Your actions are noticed. People follow your lead. Yes, you.

You are part of we. Do your fucking part.

#it’s ironic how many people believe that collective action will bring about a socialist revolution#but also dismiss any notion of the collective power of millions of individuals making different choices#as neoliberal bullshit#because they don’t wanna have to change their behavior in the slightest
