Extreme weather events are increasingly putting girls at risk, say rights groups, pointing to climate-displaced families marrying off young girls in exchange for money.

    The universe doesn’t care, so we have to. If you want humanity to be something that’s worthy of existing, then it’s not optional.

    Fine, you don’t have the stamina to care about this because you can’t personally do something about it. That’s ok.

    But care about something. Care about not running the water while brushing your teeth for no reason, or about repairing some things you’d normally throw away. Care about being good company for the people you know. Care about doing things better when you spot an opportunity for improvement. Care about not making the lives of your colleagues harder if you can help it. Care about answering the questions of a child with mindfulness and consideration.

    You don’t have to care about everything. Everything matters, everything needs improving, but no-one can fix everything so that it’s perfect.

    But improve something. Take pleasure in doing it. Not everyone will do the same, but you’ll be one more among millions making the world a little better, instead of worse.
