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.

It happened because we pushed the limits and world leaders were more competent.

No, please don't construct the illusion of some "past golden age". Leaders were not more competent in the past.
