Stumbled across this thread and thought I'd chuck in my two cents. Better late than never right? I think that I am constantly astounded and frustrated by the lack of action that our world leaders are taking to address climate change. It feels like no one is doing enough. When I am old enough to vote, the only party I can imagine voting for would be the Greens, because they are the only ones doing anything. Labour is definitely doing a marginally better job than the liberal party, but it is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
I think that I often feel guilty that I'm not doing enough or doing my bit. I carry a metal straw and my own bag. I try not to accept single-use plastic. I recycle and compost (as well as doing soft plastic recycling). I recently bought a bamboo toothbrush, beeswax wraps and reusable bags for produce that are made of net. But, I'm still far from perfect and it feels like I'm constantly generating waste.
I guess it feels like doing something is better than doing nothing, but that my something isn't enough, so why bother? Climate change is such a disheartening issue because the consequences already are and will continue to be astronomical.
