My research partner and I started our wetlands restoration project with shared wonder about ecosystem complexity, but now we just argue about whether our work matters given the scale of environmental destruction. We've become cynical about the very thing that inspired us and neither of us knows how to find meaning in small actions anymore.
More people experience this than they realize.
Intimate knowledge of environmental destruction has eroded the sense of purpose that originally motivated their work.
