Too small to make a difference?
I found a really great site that provides a list of 50 things that each person can do on a daily basis to fight global warming: http://globalwarming-facts.info/50-tips.html
I found things there that had never crossed my mind before. Some were as simple as covering your pots while cooking as it saves more energy and some would require a more pro-active approach as joining the Stop Global Warming Virtual March.
The main point is, fighting global warming and acting sustainable is not something we should expect only from governments, scientists or people with power and money. Every single one of us each day can make a difference. Imagine if millions of people would just start acting according to these things on the list or even some of them - it would be no small difference anymore.
The difficult part is that humans are comfortable creatures. In fact, it’s scientifically researched that most people are unable to change themselves and their habits (explained in a book Change or die).
