I feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders sometimes

In 2012, the US, China, and India all signaled that they will do nothing to cut their carbon emissions. As a member of society, I try to save energy on a daily basis. I don’t leave the water on when I brush my teeth, my family keeps our house cooler during the winter and warmer during the summer, and I recycle. Each developed country gets a carbon quota. The US has said that it will do nothing to cut our carbon emissions, so when I save energy, does that give the US permission to use more in big businesses and factories? What even is democracy then?

Whoever said that ignorance is bliss is was SO right.
