I think that is why people just.... give up. And why people don't want to think about it when you're showing them everything at once. Even though it NEEDS to be done. Not everything is pleasant.
Just found where I heard it and typed up the correct quote.
"A young person who is in the least bit thoughtful or sensitive today, sees no future.
Look at all the pile up of problems, any one of which taken alone would be appalling. There's population, famine, the bomb, pollution, destruction of the environment, deterioration of products…. you know…. we're basically eating plastic, wonder bread is undoubtedly plastic."
