Well said, this is so true. Change starts from within. When we realise that we are primarily responsible for our situation (the collective and the personal) and that we have to answer to ourselves for ourselves before we expect governments, elitists etc to answer to us, we will begin to see that spark grow to something more significant. It is so easy to whinge at the current "reality" and put the blame on others, whoever/whatever they may be rather than realising "Hey, I'm to blame here. I wanted that shiny new trinket. I passed that beggar by without feeling compassion. I chopped down that beautiful tree to make way for my oh so lovely patio where I can entertain my oh so impressed geusts. I want my goods wrapped in pretty little boxes with lots and lots of cellophane and pretty little pictures which take resources, when all I do is throw it in the tip when I get home."
The condition is symtomatic of our inner-beings. The current conditions are an outer Kodack Moment of our inner "not so " spiritual selves.
When we address our own inner selves and stop with all the B.S. of wanting wanting wanting and taking taking taking, then AND ONLY then will we affect change. That change has to start here, inside me, inside you. We need to lead by example.
Now here is a revolutionary idea. You go to a shop, order the spare for your P.C. (or whatever it is you may be buying) take a bag with you. When you pay, iunwrap the thing from all it's pretty trappings, place it in your bag and give the shop the waste. Tell them you want your stuff in a plain, single wrapper in future.
They feed our demand. They design new ways to catch our greedy eyes but it is all "Their" fault. We are so good, we are so pure....
