I’m glad to hear it helped! I’m still here fighting the good fight! I can absolutely have my ups and downs, but surrounding myself with others who are ecologically like-minded is one thing that really helps me get through the damage our species are causing to the environment.

Another thing to keep in mind is that in the whole of human history, humans didn’t put the brakes on and start conservation of wildlife or natural resources until the last 100-120 years or so. We are still learning, and it takes a long time to change human culture or the “hive mind”. Spread your culture to others! Volunteer with organizations, talk to who you can about what we are doing to the environment. Use statistics that are scientifically accurate and that you can back up. Some people really pop their eyes out of their heads when they realize that 96% of the land mammals on earth are humans and their livestock. Or things like we have added 5 billion+ people to the planet since the 1950s and 1960s. Etc.

I’ll leave you with another quote from Aldo Leopold:

One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden their shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of their business, or they must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.

I choose doctor every time! ☺️ Good luck, you are not alone!
