I love that analogy. No, you're not going to personally save the world by reducing your carbon footprint. But you know what you are going to be? One leaf on a tree in a forest, making that little bit more oxygen that helps collectively make the world a better place.

And that's worth doing. Especially if you can encourage other people to be leaves too.

Good point.

As i said my social and people skills are kinda bad. i didn't think that through enough and assumed it just gets buried in new, bad habit from Reddit. Lemmy has smaller userbase. I'll refrain from just venting in the future.

@Shellofbiomatter - Cheers and no worries. This has been a wonderful conversation and has highlighted key things that need to be considered in community groups and movements.

I wish you well and hope your weekend is going great!
