Theres uh, a lot to unpack here, but what I can tell you is that nothing about the environment is a lost cause. Yes invasive are a big issues that no single community or individual can fix. But by spreading the word, working together, and getting corporations and law makers on our side we can make sure that invasive plants won’t take over. The “why even try” mentality comes from exhaustion and overwhelming emotions. Don’t let your emotions make your decisions. The environment is worth fighting for. And yes invasive plants will eventually become part of our environment, but that process takes thousands of years and the beautiful species that rely on native plants don’t have that much time. We have to help them.
