I've let go of feeling like I have to do everything right. And accepted that I am a part of the mess. I'm human and I both contribute to the problem and do things to lessen my impact. I heard an author speak a couple weeks ago on the Climate Consciousness Summit hosted by the Pocket Project. Her book is called You Matter More than You Think: Quantum Social Change for a Thriving World by Karen O'Brien. I'm super into spirituality and consciousness so I'm interested in learning more of her ideas and how they relate to climate. And I shared the summit in an online community with someone who got a lot out of it and wanted to read the book as well. So we're going to read it together, learning and making new connections :)

Once a huge wave had thrown hundreds of see stars onto a beach. And there was a child picking up one, carrying it carefully back into the water, then coming back and getting the next one. A grown up came, and said to the child: "You won't be able to save them. There are too many. The few you rescue won't make a difference." And the child lifted the see star in its hands and said: "It will make a difference for this one."

Of course I just retold a well known story... Everything you do or not do makes a difference, name it karma or butterfly effect...
