In what ways might unlimited personal freedom lead to challenges in a society, and are there any limits you'd consider necessary?
@9H6L89P8mos8MO
I think it can lead to a great society, but it also leads to contradicting ideologies and right now and led to horandous idealism and I don't think liberal idealism should be strived for

Do you believe that individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment, or is it more important for changes to be made at a governmental or corporate level?
I believe that it's most important for critical changes to be made at corporate level, but individuals should also take responsibility for their choices too.
@9HB9XV88mos8MO
Yes, but I believe that it is incredibly important to change at the corporate level, since the rich release the most amount of emissions, far more than we do.
No, and we should not make any changes whatsoever since we only make a miniscule amount of pollution.
@9HC5JDH8mos8MO
a government can make a legal act or law that can help the environment but individuals can help shape what the government does
