i am trying to live an eco friendly life, my peers think im mad, am i fighting a loosing battle?
i am especially interested in sustainable fashion, so to start i no longer shop in places like h&m and primark and try to buy less but good quality clothes..this is not a popular choice!
I don’t really want to agree with the top poster, but he’s sort of right in a way.
Eco-friendly is just to show that you’re not hypocritical if you claim you love the environment
However in reality, convincing the local government or a large corporation to implement the TINIEST eco-improvement behavior would be countless times more effective. The corporation I worked with probably throws out more trash in one hour, then you will in your lifetime. Now imagine if you had them enact something more significant – what kind of impact that would be
To do this, you have to be active in well…activism and that kind of stuff.

NO!!!!!! you are not!!! If you want to live an eco friendly life, then live an eco friendly life. If your peers are not really your friends thenpay no attention to them.

You do whatever you want to do; You are not going to save the world though by doing so… It is a losing battle.
It would more or less be a futile way of saying "Well at least I’m not the one to blame, I did my part."
