Sometimes when I look at Denver’s horizon, which is rife with smog, I ask myself: “What the hell can I do?” And then I feel a bit helpless in this whole green and environmental movement and with my tiny, yet awesome, blog. I feel like nothing is getting done or that my actions are, in the scheme of things, meaningless. But then I remember the quote that’s on my mission page:
“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.”
-Edmund Burke
what he probably would have said if he was born today.
And then I don’t quite feel so helpless anymore. However, it does stir up some anger in me. It gets me thinking how many people out there do literally nothing for this very reason. I can understand not doing something out of ineptitude, fear, or sloth but not doing something because it’s not making a HUGE impact…dumbdie dumb dumb dumb.
There’s a law in banking/business (and basic common sense) that a very little number times a very big number equals, well, a REALLY big number. Point being, that a bunch of people deciding NOT to do a little thing results in ALOT of bad while the inverse is true if all those people decide to do their little thing. This is what keeps me typing, even if it’s another puppy post.
So here’s a very simple and easy call to action: Do one small thing TODAY to help make this world a little bit greener, friendlier, or awesomererer. Pick up a piece of trash on the street, open a door for a little old lady, or smile at someone who’s having a bad day. Keep those small deeds pumping and make a difference and be a part of that REALLY big number.
