If we avoided fixing problems until all other more egregious problems were addressed that would, itself - become an egregious problem.Sure, but spending most resources fixing a less important problem is not worth the time. It's like a doctor healing a patient who twisted an ankle instead of performing a surgery to save someone near death.
We put our effort where we imagine it will have the most leverage. For most of us, that doesn't extend to sub-saharan africa or the siberian tundra. If everybody made the quarter mile circle around their house a better place we wouldn't even be having this conversation..would we? lol All that said, nothing stops us from doing both, but we're still going to see alot more effort expended (and to greater effect) locally, and that's to be expected, isn't it?
