Scott Perry argues for starting with what you have when facing big problems. Put solar panels on your house, persuade your neighbors. Incremental, local action beats waiting for the world to change.
Therefore, when you fail, you say, well, I tried, I did my best. It was just too big. And that's my assertion is you weren't realistic and you got exactly what you should have expected and certainly what you deserve. I'm not dissuading anybody from tackling the big situations, the big problems, the big issues. What I am suggesting is start where you are with what you have, do what you can. And that means before you get the world to onboard with alternative energy solutions, do you have solar panels on your house? Can you get your neighbor to consider putting solar panels on their house? Can you get your neighborhood on board to consider this? You know, that's a solvable problem, like getting 10 to believe what you believe and get rowing in the same direction you want to row. That's a solvable problem. Getting the world to bend to your solution to a global problem is not a solvable problem.
