Honestly I have been thinking my whole life that we need to do something about it and stop wasting too much/using less plastic etc.
But the thing is: A couple of persons, a nation like Germany or 1-2 countries more won't save the world while anyone else in the world has got other problems to concern about and do not bother.
That's sad... but this world is going to close its eyes and deal with this problem until the end rather than try to prevent it.
What do you think... did we/I give up? Painting black? Or just facing the reality?
