Help! What would you say to this?

Question

Ok so I was talking to my friend, and I think everyone should help and contribute the the global crisis by doing small things like unplugging an electronic device when not in use, shorter showers, cloth napkins instead of paper and recycling, stuff you don't have to go out of your way to do, and she was like people are making too big of a deal about this. After i tried explaining to her how this IS a big deal, she cut me off and went on to say the world will work itself out, like she said that it will get really cold after the heat and then everything will go back to the way it was, its just a cycle.....so my dilemma is how do i talk to her to get her to see what I'm trying to show her. That the Earth is NOT just going to work itself out when people keep polluting it and using up natural resources, without sounding hostile or attacking, because i feel very strongly about this topic and feel everyone should try to help.

thank you

Answer 1

In my own opinion, convincing her is a really a difficult task and so she has a different point of view about contributing to save our world for tomorrow. Well, i guess you need to talk to her and explain to her carefully that the world needs our help in order to have a good and wonderful nature. A nice place to live in. We should help each other to let our environment become clean, pollution-free, garbage-free and everything that our nature deserves for the good things it helps or rather gives us.

Answer 2

You are both looking at different time scales. While I agree with you, she has a point. You need to give her specific examples and numbers, or hypnostize her and watch the day after tomorrow.
