Be the Change . .

"You may never know what results come of your actions but if you do nothing there will be no results" -Gandhi

I know as well as anybody how busy life is; how tiresome it can be and therefore how difficult it can be to make even very small changes to the general routine of life. I feel exhausted at the moment, totally zapped of energy to the point that I accidentally slammed a door in my own face this morning - how stupid..I was most annoyed because of the time delay it caused -which shows the kind of permanent stress that we live with sometimes. 

However i resolutely believe that if we could all begin by making some very small changes in our lifestyles the knock-on effect would be enormous. I feel this is already happening to some extent, a small wave of discontent at lack of action is resulting in individuals taking responsibility and bringing with it a wave of new possibilities and inspiration. Being "Green" is no longer the anathema it used to be.

This is not a new phenomenon, we have been here before - granting votes to all men and women, the abolition of slavery, the overthrowing of despots, different countries achieving Independence - all things which at one time in history would have appeared impossible to change - but they did, and the majority would argue that the changes brought great benefits.

So it can happen; the question is - Will you make those small changes ?
