      i don’t know why they need to be mutually exclusive. individuals in communities with other individuals are what comprise a system. its all built from people.

        Totally agree, everyone’s right! Our individual environmental impact is tied proportionally to our individual wealth, so anyone who isn’t exceptionally wealthy probably isn’t making an exceptional impact. Together though, the collective impact of everyone who don’t make an exceptional impact is exceptional. Now if only environmental and social responsibility were proportional to wealth too, but they seem to be inversely related, at least in my opinion.
