I’m not saying that people aren’t concerned about the issues that are going around, people are informed about them and always talk about them, but it stays there. Most people will complain about problems and issues but never do anything about it. Of course there are some people that take initiative and actually do something about it and look for solutions, but unfortunately those people are not enough. We need to change our mindset (and I’m saying we because I’m one of those people that complain and do absolutely nothing about it) and start to have the need to solve these problems.
One example is global warming. This is a big topic and it is affecting ALL of us. People talk about it and complain that other people don’t recycle and waste water and energy, and 10 minutes later you’ll see them throwing their plastic wrapper to the trash bin when having the plastic-recycle bin right next to it because “it was closer to them” or because “they didn’t notice”. If they actually cared, they would at least be mindful about what they can recycle and actually recycle it.
I have come to the realisation that I am one to talk, because I would probably do the same thing that the other person did, but I’m going to change it. From now on, every time that I notice a problem, I will at least try and look for a solution, and if I find it, I will do everything I can to at least solve part of it.
