"From getting dressed, to grabbing a coffee, to transporting ourselves to school or work, we know that we can either be contributing to child labour, exploitation of people and land, pollution and climate change, OR we can contribute to alternative income projects, fair trade and sustainable agriculture, and an emissions-free bicycle culture. The change we make in the world is up to us."
After reading The Everyday Activist written by Michael Norton I can just say that you have absolutely NO EXCUSE for living irresponsibly. What an eye-opener! Now, open your eyes. Make a change in your life today. Even if you think it's just a small positive change, it makes the world of difference.
Now think about this mind-blowing truth for a minute: you can actually already TODAY make small adjustments to your daily routines and by that help creating a positive change.
"It's better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness."
"Where do I start?" you say. Well, we'll sort that out for you. Sit tight my friend - we have a series of blog posts coming up where we talk about what you can do from the moment you wake up all the way until you fall asleep.
You know what the best part is? It's easy, oh so easy! Just keep your eyes on this blog ("Steps to change" on it's way)...and start this week by getting your hands on your own copy of "The Everyday Activist" (see links below) for more reading, inspiration and ideas.
This amazing book provides you with almost 200 easy-to-read (and nicely designed!) pages with...
"...everything you need to know to get off your backside and start to make a difference"
