> I can’t make the needle move much even if I spend my life doing it. I’m just not in a position of power large enough to steer capitalism itself on a global scale.
Steering things on a global scale shouldn’t be the goal to begin with at the individual level. This isn’t the needle individuals need to try to move.
You absolutely can make a difference though. Change starts with you and me. And then the people around us. The way we choose to spend our money. By getting involved in our local governments. By supporting organizations that take action. By volunteering to take action.
Every movement starts with an individual. Every massive human endeavor has required the collective effort of many individuals, and this is no different.
Don’t expect people aren’t doing these individual things. Reuse, buying ethical products, recycling, public transit, and so on. It’s just that you’d never see the needle moved this way, so you probably wouldn’t be able to tell how many people are doing these things.
