I truly believe that i can make a difference...it's instilled in me. I don't listen to anyone telling me that it's futile and that i might as well give up...i work day and night to ensure that i do my bit and i instill it in so many others as well because at the end of the day we should now all be instilling the importance of protecting our environment and wildlife around the world to every single child in this world...after all they are the ones that can make the difference..they are the future generations and if we can teach them now then maybe we stand a chance in having things changed. I work with children and i am always teaching them the importance of it all and the worst thing i think i have heard for a while was a woman who saw it fit to tell me off for teaching her child the importance of recycling because her child kept telling her to recycle and was driving her mother crazy with her ideas and how she had soon put a stop to it, now to me that is an example of why things may never change, if we stop simple things like that we are condemming our planet already.
Im very eco friendly and i know it drives people crazy but to be honest i don't care. I recycle as much as i am allowed to, i make compost, i grow my own vegetables and will soon be starting on fruits, i don't own a car so i walk everywhere and if i am desperate to travel a far distance then it is public transport or a car share and yes i will even say i live by the motto if it's yellow let it mellow if it's brown flush it down when using the toilet at home...of course i do flush when he yellow builds up to much but im saving water, i also shower instead of having baths and i limit it to no more than 6 minutes...a slight bit more than the Australians 4, i turn off lights i am not using, i leave nothing on standby, i also go to work and turn off things that no one is using.I believe i can change the world and that is all i need...belief....i recall a motto that was once told to me....In Brazil it is said that a butterflies wings can start a storm off, now imagine millions of butterflies together...what a storm that would make....i like that quote, it shows that if we all band together we stand a chance, a chance to change things.
