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.

This exactly. It's a room full of people wiping the floor with single tissue papers while one guy is spraying the floor with a fire hose. But hey, at least they get to feel good about themselves because they can tell themselves "I did my part". What else could they do?
