There are a lot of ways that individual people can help the environment. Recycling correctly, not buying clothes from Shein, and cutting down on using fossil fuels as much as possible are great ways to give back to the Earth, especially considering we're right in the middle of Earth Day season. Even though it is admirable to try to use less, there is only so much a person can do to help the environment. If you think a community garden in the middle of the city will do much for climate change, you have another thing coming. If you wear your clothes until your rags and don't replace them in the name of environmentalism, you're only making yourself look silly. If you ban your entire family, including two teenage boys, from showering more than twice a week, that's borderline neglect, and you should really think about prioritizing cleanliness over the environment.
