I mean like too late to mitigate it enough for it to not destroy the environment completely. And most of the pollution is not from individuals but from corporations. I mean hell, most pollution from airplanes comes from private jets. Commercial passenger planes don’t do nearly as much damage as those (though they do quite a bit of damage and should be limited where possible). ~Cherri

Except that’s not a thing, it’s impossible for the environment to be completely destroyed. Even when a forest turns to desert the desert is still an environment that can be adapted to and improved on. The world as we know it will change dramatically, that’s just something that’s unavoidable at this point. But we can help make the next version of this world the best we can.

As long as you’re alive it’s never too late to take action.

A lot of species are going extinct faster than new ones are popping up. ~Cherri

Yes, that’s part of the changing world. Not something I’m happy about but something we can’t change. There are projects sequencing their genome so that we can hopefully clone/revive the species at a later time however. So there are things that can be done to mitigate even those changes. Not a perfect solution but it’s something.

If you truly believe there’s no hope and we can’t do anything to change it then I implore you to follow your own word and don’t bother commenting doomerisms since it doesn’t help anything.

If you want to give up, fine. Just do it by yourself. I’m going to keep fighting as long as there’s life in this body.
