your message is so good, too bad more people don't see it this way, I'm 80 yrs old and I have seen so many changes so bad for us and the earth. There use to be rabbits, raccoons, and other wild animals around our neighborhood now there are none, poisons spewed on properties to kill weeds and insects, guns all contributed to their demise.
I love trees but because leaves are treated as a problem so many trees are cut down.
In the 60s and 70s climate change, overpopulation, the rain forest being destroyed, electric cars, were talked about, as soon as the 80s came all was forgotten.
I wanted an electric car so much and was hoping the gasoline cars would become a thing of the past, I am so allergic to carbon monoxide
But things got worse and none of the problems were solved. Deregulation and wealth was so important this was the beginning of the end.
