Just do your best. We're still learning, and so we're still making mistakes. I started with recycling, since my city has a good curbside program, and buying organic food now and then when I'm particularly flush. I still "sin" all the time (MOST of the time!) but it doesn't make me give up hope - a little is always better than nothing. The ultimate "solution" would be to create and disseminate a virus that would wipe Homo sapiens off the planet, and you'd have a hard time finding proponents for that (outside of PETA, anyway!)

Love, Columbine
LOL -- i wrote what you see above, and all links in that are things i found relating to the topics that i was discussing above

And by no means have I given up, and I know what impact I have on things -- its the recognizing part of it that helps to see where change can be implemented. For example, I dont eat store bought chicken or eggs anymore - i get them from an organic farm that my moms friend runs. I know how the animals are treated, and i know what the eat, and what her farm impact is on the area around it. I carpool to work, which is a step in the right direction, but not the full solution.

The thing i wrote above was to get some thinking out there, and see what people are trying to do to like a little more 'green'


Edit to add: What i wrote above is to get people to start seeing the 'next step' lets call it --- i'm doing X now, but it has Y impact. How can I make it better and achieve Z sort of thing
