Let's not do anything else at all until climate change is solved. Then we can start on habitat loss and do nothing else until that's solved, and then we can exclusively start to sort out microplastics before moving on to concentrating totally on water pollution. Oh hang on, climate change has started again. Better drop the work on pollution and go back to that. Hang on, kids, we'll be with you around the year 5832. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone -1 points 1 year ago (1 child) There are lots of things to fix in the world though climate change is pretty existential for everything.
