Within tech, we place a focus on products/services that can be influential, to the point of "changing the world". And sure, the SaaS app that I work on each day has an influence, but naturally, I'm feeling a little disheartened.

Given our very Westernized culture, can we as individuals still have an impact on the future of our Earth? How?

It's sad to me that I have never really researched effectives ways that individuals can contribute to huge social issues before. My hypotheses is that there are many of us out there that want to do something, but perhaps see it as a futile mission, so end up doing nothing.

What do you think?
