> ... "or just don't care, even if they are informed."

Or have realized the absolute futility of trying to convince those who are informed and don't care, or those who aren't informed and actively fight against becoming informed. Some of use who've fought this battle all our lives are becoming exhausted and hopeless at this point...



I sympathise. People just have "bigger" problems that are personal to them. I think i could convince someone not to litter if i knew someone who did, but convincing them they should refuse gifts derived from petroleum, or stop wearing synthetic fabrics, or not buy a home dense with plastics, and so on? It's so far down on most peoples list of struggles
