Those of us that do the "little" things cannot "keep up " with the progress of greed and the rich and those that couldn't care less?

It is all the ''tiny little drops'' put together that form a large drop that pollutes the environment, demands more resources and human habitat, and shrinks wildlife habitat.
The mantra for thousands of years now has been ''more! more! more!''
More people, more resources, more this more that. In recent centuries it only got worse with rampant capitalism. I doubt ''humanity'' will ever be different, because it would have to live by a radically different philosophy, and for that to work most would have to enjoy it also. Think such things as cold showering, less travelling around, sustainable diets, family planning etc. Those are solutions, but established power (structures) don't like you doing that.
It's more conceivable that it will one day go to other planets and do the same thing over again. We behave like a virus and are generally inconsiderate of other living beings.
