what is needed is a different question I think as to what one should do. i
believe we should all do that which we can to make life better. that can
be big or it can be small. but it is useful to bear in mind the chaos
theory.
what difference does it make if i recycle? Sometimes it can be difficult
to see the results of the sometimes small things we do. but look now.
People are recycling on a large scale. people are caring about the
environment on a large scale. this started small. i won't keep rambling
but basically what i am saying is 'do what is in your power, and be
satisfied'.
if so, where does one begin.

do we need to know the cause? maybe, maybe not. if we don't though is it
any use in worrying at it or doing nothing because of it?
If we know it to be wrong to discriminate (colour, sex, disability ect)
then we should do what we can, even if all that amounts to is not
discriminating ourselves. Perhaps feed one poor person, and not end world
poverty.
