Thanks, yeah. Hair like my icon has (what I want mine to look like) needs a long shower once a week.
More generally... I am of two minds, because I'm caught between 1) doing as much as possible because enough drops fill the bucket and 2) when I first really heard about environmentalism it was from the kids in my school who wore T-shirts like "plants and animals died to make room for your fat ass" and bragged about spiking trees so they would be dangerous to cut down. More recently I look at the furor over plastic straws and how much people have harassed disabled bloggers for explaining why it is they need disposable plastic straws. And I think about the disposable bottles of saline that are part of the setup that allows me to see, and the people who would honestly tell me that I should forgo them and go back to a blur of a world and worsening eye disease.
I mean, we work to save our drops, and often scold each other over the size of them, but redesigns of industrial practices could save swimming pools full.
And on another tentacle, or whatnot, I love to see people consciously write the ideas they believe in into fanfic. I love it in fiction in general, not least because I've learned lots of ideas from fiction, and so I love it in fanfic. I really delighted in the environmentalist message in the most recent Happy Birthday Steve comic, for several reasons (including how IC it was for Steve).
