i think a big issue with trying to spread info or raise activism is that what is often published widely is pretty alarmist, which i think makes it easy to dismiss. its easy to read about drastic shit that's going to happen in 20-30 years, look around and see things aren't that serious and dismiss the issue all together. that sorta falls into the what veen said about changes in climate not being a notable enough for the general public to be bothered. still totally worth preventing, i got to school for env studies and with all that said i think there's no time like the now to change how we produce energy, dispose of waste, and get around, i think its just hard to get the average person involved if you don't give it to them strait. fake edit; on a phone so ignore any errorsss
