inRant: Writing prompts rarely touch on plastic pollution and it's hurting our stories
Notice you're focusing on the big prompt hubs. I mean, smaller writing groups online actually share a lot about environmental themes. Maybe the problem isn't that prompts don't exist, but that they don't get as much attention as the flashy stuff. Writers tend to skip past them because they seem harder or less exciting. But that's exactly why we should push for more, like you said. It just might take digging deeper into niche spaces to find them.
