Little things make a difference.
If we want to support and sustain life on this planet, we can—by making changes right now.
Some of us are able to make a number of changes all at once. Others of us—the majority—need to deal with change one step at a time.
WHY “SMALL” CHANGES ARE IMPORTANT:
Better to make small changes that we can sustain…and add to over time…than try to change too many things at once and fail to stick with them. Failure is a deterrent to continuing a good thing.

Grounded in a new vision that we each can benefit the whole… here are great ideas for making small changes that add up to big benefits for the planet and the family of all living things.
