I honestly don't think we need to be so pessimistic about this issue, since we can all do something to enact change, no matter how small! This past year with the pandemic, I think we've all learned the importance and value of nature and how we need to take care - what takes care of us! I also go by the motto that we don't need to change the world necessarily, start with creating the change in yourself by noticing where you can be more environmentally friendly, maybe pick up a scrap/junk on the sidewalk wherever you can, and it doesn't have to be a mandatory thing that weighs you down, more like a change of lifestyle! Once we start changing one by one, then collectively others may notice and follow along
