Make things better by making better things.
Take a step outside tonight and chances are you will be hearing a lot of fireworks going off from your neighbors.
This is the sound of when a couple people don’t follow the recommendation to light fireworks during an extreme drought.
Each one a justification:
“We do this every year.”
“It’s a tradition.”
“It’s just a couple of fireworks.”
“It’s not that big of a deal.”
As a thought exercise, imagine that this is only 2% of the population lighting-off fireworks. (I actually have no idea what the statistics are.)
It’s pretty loud out there.
The tragedy of the commons. When one person puts there needs above the rest.
