My Big Question

I have always wanted to know why do humans not care and take for granted what is given to us? Many people are becoming very ignorant towards the subject of Climate Change. If people started to care more, the world would be better and we wouldn't have to worry about huge fires and animals going extinct so quickly. I would like to solve the problem of global warming by starting with making a difference myself. Perhaps if others see a change, they will want to do it also and little by little the world will start to become a better place.
