Whether it is climate change, environmental pollution, homelessness, poverty, social isolation, loss of biodiversity or one of the many other pressing issues we face in modern society, it is likely that any real, positive change will not come from the top down but from the grassroots up.
If we wait for the permission or support of politicians, councils, big businesses, educators & "the rest of society" to start the ball rolling it's likely that nothing will ever change.
The mantra 'Be the change you wish to see in the world' becomes more and more pertinent & urgent every day.
If you have ever thought that "Somebody should do something" about a problem that you see in your community or environment, now is the time to realise that YOU are 'somebody'.
You can fix things, grow things, join things, cook things, donate things, make things and be part of the things that you want to happen.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" (Margaret Meade)
Don't wait for someone else to start the revolution...
