That's probably everyone's problem which is why it's easier pretending that "well we can't do anything so may as well just accept it".

Probably. But at least, everyone could discuss it and see what could be done, rather than trying to justify doing nothing.

I can get people to the state of discussing what could be done and I like pretending that seeds planted at least but that's where I usually get the "oh well we can't do anything about it anyway".

Even after a discussion has progressed enough where you can almost see the cogs turning when they realise they could and should affect a couple of lifestyle changes to get where they want to go.
