Short-sighted
By Abbie Madden
In the literal sense, I am short-sighted – but we, as a society, are short-sighted in our ideas for fixing this planet. Our idea of what is helping the planet and affecting change is so focused on the right now and the immediate. We are looking at what is in front of us: pick up that piece of rubbish, recycle those products, grey-wash your clothes. But what can we achieve if we look further away, further into the future? Hold close those nearby, and work towards that distant focus.
