same here all around. but if my octogenerian neighbors can take the time to demand that my great grand children i'll never meet have a planet worth living on, then i can do the same for the next generations, too. it doesn't have to be an all consuming fight, it's a marathon not a sprint, afterall. but that marathon starts with setting a goal, and one of those goals should be a planet where a long term view of resource management is taken. just accepting "it has to be somewhere" ignores the truth that it doesn't need to be at all. that people's ancestral lands matter. that clean oceans and ecosystems matter. destroying something in the name of progress isn't progress.

it doesn't have to be much. it starts with saying your local community should be cleaner, and that it shouldn't just dump its waste in another community. we all live together, ultimately.
