"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."
― Mahatma Gandhi
Stop wasting your time trying to convince close minded people with facts and logic. People with emotional and dogmatic positions are immune to reason. You'll only drive yourself mad trying so forget them.
I've been thinking a lot lately about things I can do personally to be part of the climate change solution. I've made changes big and small that have greatly reduced my impact. But what's the impact of a single person? It's just a drop in the bucket. However when lot's of people make small changes then the impact can really add up.
I'd like to start a Meetup group that focuses on helping, encouraging and supporting each other in making positive changes for the environment and I need people that want to help organize the most effective way to do something. There is nothing at all of this sort in Salt Lake but read the comments section of any climate related story in the Salt Lake Tribune and you'll see that there are lots of passionate people out there. Let's stop talking in circles and instead let's focus on making positive person changes and how we can multiply them.
