When thinking of these bugs, I really just looked at my own life and saw all of the problems. A lot of them happen on a daily scale, but not all of them are things I can visually see. Climate change for example is just something that is invisible until it isn’t. The visual factor is rising sea levels. Air pollution can be visible and so can a car front bumper. The difficulty comes in remembering these problems, because we tend to see the good things in life before the bad things. It took a while to get started, but once I did, I couldn’t stop. Many of these problems we all share together. I think it’s important we find the bugs so we can create the solutions.
