Yep.
What amazes me, is the ignorance of some with the attitude of...
"until some kind of single magic bullet comes along, why bother?"
Refusing to recognize that the answer lies in taking and embracing...lots of small, constant, interim steps.
Which is how most major changes take place, whether it be civil rights/air & water pollution/....?
Speaking of which, the incredible increase in air/water quality experienced due to laws that has occurred in the last number of decades in our cities...is the perfect example. I can't help but wonder, if some folks think this all happened because of magic...or voluntary industry actions taken?
All this improvement in spite of the same voices screeching back then, about how meeting those laws would...
"cost too much, destroy industries and it's too late anyway."
And yet of late, ignoring the success of those laws, we've been relaxing a lot of them...simply so corporations/industries can increase their profits in the short term.
