It’s Never Too Late To Go Green

We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.
Howard Zinn
Our life is frittered away by detail…Simplify, simplify, simplify! Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.
Henry Thoreau
"The Earth is what we all have in common.”
Wendell Berry
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead
“The key to communication is not speaking the way that you want to speak to someone, but rather speaking in a way that the listener will hear you.”
Sara Gutterman
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.”
Jane Goodall
We have to cultivate contentment with what we have. We really don’t need much. When you know this, the mind settles down. Cultivate generosity. Delight in giving. Learn to live lightly. In this way, we can begin to transform what is negative into what is positive. This is how we start to grow up.
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
"The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it."
Sir David Attenborough
Sustainability takes forever, and that's the point.
