βTo the person who uses metal straws to save fish but consumes animals, Iβd like to say thank you. To the vegan who isnβt aware of our homelessness problem, thank you. To the climate change activists who arenβt attentive to fast fashion, thank you. To the girl who gives her old clothes to the disadvantaged but isnβt educated on s*x trafficking, thank you. To the guy who picks up rubbish on his way home from a surf but isnβt well-informed about male su***de rates, thank you. To the people who stand up for horse racing concerns but are uninformed of the cruelty of the dairy industry, thank you. To the positive Instagram influencer who hasnβt cultivated a plastic-free lifestyle, thank you. To the grandparents who knit for sick children but arenβt up to date with current race and homophobic issues, thank you. To the students that stand up for bullying but are unaware of the constant domestic violence epidemic, thank you. To the peace activists, feminists, stray dog adopters, teachers, volunteers, foster carers, recyclers, givers, doers and believers, I say thank you. We are all on a different path and we all see through different eyes. Current world issues that you are passionate about, arenβt always what other people are trying to changeβ¦ and thatβs okay. Itβs not everyoneβs job to save every part of the world but it is everyoneβs responsibility to thank every person who is doing THEIR part to save the world. Donβt critique, just appreciate. Donβt judge, just educate. Weβre all trying our best. Thank you.β Carla Borthwick.
