With the ridiculous incredible waste of our military and industries I feel pointless turning my lights off and separating all my trash and compost I'll keep working hard on living light, but almost everyone else I know does not care to change one single thing, ever, about their lives. They don't seem to be able to even begin to grasp what's wasted and burned up.

I know too many people who WILL NOT EVER care. I've seen too much from them, over and over, it's made me ashamed of Humanity. I have zero hope for us now. The nice ones who say we're going to change, "Yay, a green revolution is around the corner!" These people are in denial, which is a cute fantasy, cheers them up, but it does not help. The revolution is not going to be as sweet as everyone planting a garden and buying a reusable bottle.
