Evolution and Christianity and Salvation

[tackattack]

I want to do solar panels on my forever home, I'm renting now, I also want a rain water recollection system. To your point about me specifically.I'm all for a solution but complex problems require time investment just to start to solve, and that's after you collect data and can get consensus on the causes and a reasonable prediction of the outcome. I just find things like making sure children don't die unnecessarily, people are fed, lowering societal hate, making sure families stay together healthily, stopping terrorism, emotional and medical support for veterans and the disenfranchised, safety in schools, teaching critical thinking to the next generation, etc. those are just a few of the things that are way more important to me when I'm contemplating what to spend the next 20 years working to improve than taking plastic out of the ocean. It's an admirable cause but people are probably just going to put more in. You can't plant 2 million trees when they'll be cut down in 20 years for building homes for the new population. My focus is on helping people be better people, that should hopefully have a side effect of making them more environmentally conscience. There is such a wide disconnect though between a society of "I, me , mine" and "man this world is a dump because of us" I just think it's currently not a good short term sprint target.

Let's be honest. People can march, rally and have protest, but most do it for a feel good "I'm being a global citizen" feel good. Just like Christians protest at abortion clinics with their "We're morally superior and in a group" mentality. That's not where actual work gets done. I mean Boyan Slat was great, and adventurous, even though I think it's not a full solution and potentially could be more harm than good, at least that is obvious effort. I'll give him an A for effort, I give myself an E for effort in climate change. But I'm working on Bs and Cs on other things.

@Jehanne I didn't and I won't
