let me rephrase this. the media is covering it only because people are making a big deal out of it. but if you follow any weather/satellite pages you would’ve known about it.
but it upsets me that so many people preach about climate change and other important things but they don’t actually do anything about it besides promote it.
I think it’s good to spread awareness, but it would be better to do something against the fire instead. Just spreading information won’t stop the forest from burning down.
There’s always something that can be done, you can stop buying from fast foods for example, stop buying clothes from fast fashion and buy second hand clothes, stop plastic as much as you can… and those are only examples.
idk about the rest of the world, but i know that the UK and in some parts here in Hawaii, McDonalds and Kfc and other fast foods are using biodegradable paper straws so that if they are thrown in the trash or somehow find their way to the ocean, they won’t harm anything
It’s not about the use of straws but about the actual pollution caused by these kind of businesses. They will still hurt the earth with or without straws.
of course not, the leaders of the world (presidents, governments, royal families etc) are too obsessed with money and their countries’ success than the actual world
