— “But everyone else is doing it, too! Whether I do it or don’t, doesn’t change a thing!”

— Well, if you stop doing it and then communicate that and why you stopped doing it, that might make others think — and possibly change their behaviour, too. This is true for any action, be it flying, owning a car, buying fast fashion, or using to-go cups with plastic lids.

Every personal decision to do better might set off a ripple effect that might lead to change on a societal, even global scale.

(This is not to say that we could possibly save the world with personal actions alone; that requires political decisions above all. But these are based on the overall public sentiment, which in turn can be influenced by each of us.)
