11. All efforts count toward change “Why do we focus on certain things at the expense of others? We will risk our lives to save a person from drowning, yet not make a donation that could save a dozen children from starvation. We install solar panels when their impact on CO2 emissions is minimal-and indeed may have a negative net effect if manufacturing and installation are taken into account- rather than contributing to more efficient infrastructure projects….reasoning is less powerful than instinct.” Graeme Simsion The Rosie Project
