   The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.

   Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.

   The ozone could have a huge hole.

   We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.

   I feel like we forget this, you know?

     @futurebird Whenever people say we can't tackle climate change because it needs to be done by all countries and you can't get everyone to sign up to take actions cooperatively, I wonder if they forgot about that whole ozone hole thing and the Montreal Protocol. I mean, we did that in the 80s! With people like Reagan and Thatcher in charge of countries! Hell, they even pushed for action and following the science.

     It can be done - if our politicians weren't so bought off or blinded by ideology.
