There is definitely a need for government/social/society change. I think the individual has both a moral (integrity) reason to make the change, as well as a leadership/driving change role on a small (and sometimes big) level. Two go hand-in-hand for sure. It seems most of us make the individual changes for those reasons, anyway. Cheers, Joshua Yea, I agree. There is definitely a need for government/social/society change.

Was it Tom Friedman who said, "Don't change your lightbulbs - change your leaders." Or do both! But I think pressuring governments in a collective way is one of the biggest tasks ahead of us - alongside changing the way business works and, somehow, rewriting the cultural messages we're soak in everyday. Individual action is wonderful, and, in my experience, pays surprising personal dividends like getting reacquainted with the natural world and finding time to reflect. But unsustainability is a *systemic* issue - so I think that means we gotta change systems, not just individuals. Good call, Joshua.
