hi there
I think the problem is this:
There are so many issues in the world.. there are personal problems, problems in specific countries, problems of race gender and sexuality, there are problems with religion, there are problems for kids and for adults and the elderly, there are problems about the environment and there are just millions of problems... you get the idea!
And because we are all different we all care about particular things. This doesn't mean any of us are particularly right, but if nobody ever cared about the environment and only cared about cruelty to animals then the world would be in a very unbalanced state.
The same goes for the other way around- if people only had time for the environment and didn't care about raising awareness for sleep apnea or some other relatively unheard of medical condition then the results would be just as bad.
My point is that although we all want to care abouot EVERYTHING, we can't easily do that, because in order to make a real difference, you have to be passionate and that usually takes up most of your time and energy etc..
So when you look around there are people fighting for lots of different causes and some people don't realise that this is just the way the world functions and that we all do our different things contributing to the bigger picture...
Some people don't see this and they think that environment friendly people are extremist and over the top, but the truth is they just really care a lot.
This doesn't mean that everyone should be this way though.. if you see what i mean?
Everyone is different, in order to fight for the environment people emerce themselves deeply into the 'green' earth friendly culture and to outsiders it can seem a little unerving, but it's no different to someone canpaigning wildly for other issues.
It just seems a bit different and a bit strange to other people who have come from other backgrounds.
Of course there is also the issue of people not really knowing enough about the world and the way it is being ruined, they don't have the knowledge or the intellect to comprehend the worlds fate for future generations to come..
Perhaps these people have other issues that are too big or to hard that they have stopped caring.. perhaps they were brought up in broken homes and they cannot empathise or treat people with the respect they deserve.
Perhaps they are just ignornat or they think it's a joke, perhaps they are just immature?
In situations like this youo have to consider all the possibilities and remember, above all else that you must never let people put you off from doing what you feel is the right thing to do, no matter what that may be.
Hope you aren't getting a hard time!
