of course privately owned companies ( lets call them what they are ) and governments need to do things that improve lives and the world
Advocating action on an individual level is subversive and a way to achieve these bigger aims
once people start cleaning their local environment, having a nicer kinder community, having stronger local industry, having more tax money to invest in Australia they will like the results, they will want more as they see that positive change is possible, become invested in improvement, in positive action, and they will start demanding more action from government and industry
it’s subversive , it changes minds and that’s why I always say it
What bothers me most is how we are encouraged to feel hopeless, like there is nothing we can do
We can do so much to improve our lives, our community and the environment. Some we can do on our own, some takes organising.
An example is Clean Up Australia Day. Community food cupboards, little libraries.
We can be good neighbours even in small ways.
We can stop listening to bad news.
The economy? That will take longer. Join unions. Invest in Australian industry instead of residential property. Tax private companies. etc etc
We can take some action but institutional actors need to step up.
