I wasn't given a choice about all of the 23year old boulevard trees on my street being cut down either. Not getting a choice makes me feel powerless. There are a lot of things that can make us feel powerless. Some are real and others are not. I think however we have more power than we realize.
I just have to look at the numerous examples where one person has changed something they did not like. Gandhi helped end British Rule in India; Martin Luther King helped change life for black people; and there are many local heroes who spoke up, acted and inspired change.
There is the expression... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
