Can we talk about the guy in line at the Austin co-op who told me my reusable bag was 'just a drop in the bucket'? | Climate Action

I was bagging my loose carrots at the Wheatsville Co-op on Guadalupe and this older guy behind me laughed and told me my cloth bag wouldn't save a single glacier. I said it's not about saving the glacier, it's about the 3 bags a week I don't pull from that bin by the door, and he just shook his head and paid for his stuff. Has anyone else run into someone who thinks small habits are pointless, and what do you even say back?
