I am only one tiny stone. But tiny stones are important.

What I'm saying is that this point of view is an illusion. It gives people the impression they are doing something when they are not accomplishing a damn thing, unfortunately.
Has anyone noticed any progress because of all this home recycling? Nothing has changed and in fact things are worse.
The planet is dying because many are mislead into believing that a little recycling, a little conservation, by each person is enough.
I shouldn't have used the word "meaningless". Conservation is awesome as a way to save money and waste less. It's awesome.
But, as some movement? It's a scam to sell products people, wake up.
