Letter: Single issue that affects all mankind
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It has become fashionable to denigrate those who promote a single issue ('Were we conned?', 16 January), but as William Blake pointed out many years ago, 'General good is the plea of the scoundrel', and 'He who would do good to another must do it in minute particulars.'
Environmentalists are often accused of being single-issue fanatics. This is especially absurd since the environment affects all mankind, not just environmentalists. Those who try to improve our care of the environment, whether by political involvement or by good science, are serving mankind as a whole.
Yours sincerely,
