Answer:
Becoming active in a group which backs social environmental projects is a good way to become more familiar with people who know and care about the real lives of people who are suffering in the here and now from environmental problems.
For instance, people who became active in Flint Michigan’s water crisis, probably got involved in the lives of the people effected. In such ways one comes to see the broad nexus which connects bad government to bad social situations and bad environmental situations.
