We can take some action but institutional actors need to step up.
of course privately owned companies ( lets call them what they are ) and governments need to do things that improve lives and the world
Advocating action on an individual level is subversive and a way to achieve these bigger aims
once people start cleaning their local environment, having a nicer kinder community, having stronger local industry, having more tax money to invest in Australia they will like the results, they will want more as they see that positive change is possible, become invested in improvement, in positive action, and they will start demanding more action from government and industry
it's subversive , it changes minds and that's why I always say it
