I think all of us would do more if we truly believed that our individual actions would make a difference. I’m fortunate in that my environmental background taught me that it only takes a handful of people to create change. So I believe in the power of one. Most people, sadly, do not. But if we framed it in terms of how their actions might benefit their loved ones … then it might be an easier concept to grasp.

But that last line struck me. I wonder if we would all do more – befriend, recycle, advocate, protest, vote, love – if we thought we were saving the world for the people we love.
