Even catastrophic storms & disasters haven't jolted us out of our apathy. 2 summers ago the California drought brought the worst wildfire season ever--5,000 buildings burned & over 40 people died in the CA county where I lived.... & I'm really not doing anything differently now...
I've always recycled & avoided wasting electricity & all that, but there were still a lot of things more that I could have done, like get rid of my minivan & get a Smart Car or something, stop taking 30 minute hot showers, & let the house be cooler in winter--but I didn't do any of those things & I still haven't. What's wrong with me? Why am I apathetic just like most everyone else?
