Precisely my point. Even if recycling is a corporate propaganda to shift blame to consumers and the majority of plastics do not get recycled, or that saving water is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of water lost to pipe leaks, it is still better than doing nothing.
Would these doomers have preferred if they had done nothing at all?
A drop in the bucket, which is fully comprised of drops ;)
"What is an ocean, but a multitude of drops?"
Definitely one of my favourite quotes.
Kierkegaard's knight of infinite resignation vs knight of faith
Doing what I can still basically feels like doing nothing anyway. Like when you finish a mission in Helldivers and it shows how much your team contributed to the total effort.
The tare machine: "You have used a reusable bag for a decade and recycled every recyclable object you bought after using it until it was unuable. You have decreased the effect of climate change by 0.00000000125%."
Me: Yay! I'm helping! 🥹
You’re helping!

Sounds like Chad just wants praise for performative actions.
ok doomer
I will not engage in climate denial by pretending individual efforts can outcompete corporate & military polluters to save us from climate collapse.
You could broaden the scope of what you believe you "can" do
I think actively participating in anti-capitalist revolutionary efforts is the most meaningful thing we can do. I don’t think we can save the planet without it.
We’re going to have to choose between a few dead oil executives, or a dead planet.
All avenues are important. Effort needs to be put into what you stated, but effort also needs to be put into helping people who are living month to month make the small changes that they are able to. Not everyone is in a privileged position of being able to upend their entire world without life changing consequences.
The climate is going to suffer, there's no doubt about that. When that happens, obviously humans will try to fix it. Why be a doomer now when you could start fixing what you can?
