As a child I wanted to save the planet, but the problems seemed so large, so many. I am one of ten children and my father attempted to calm me by telling me not to try to save the entire world, but instead to light one candle. I was too young to understand the wisdom of that advice. But now I do. In modern parlance it is “Think globally. Act locally.”
The problems of the environmental crisis seem sometimes overwhelming. It’s easy to tune out. To give up. Please don’t! Never before has it been so important for each person to ask: What can I do, right here, right now, to make a difference? How can I help?
