— “But everyone else is doing it, too! Whether I do it or don’t, doesn’t change a thing!”

— Well, if you stop doing it and then communicate that and why you stopped doing it, that might make others think — and possibly change their behaviour, too. This is true for any action, be it flying, owning a car, buying fast fashion, or using to-go cups with plastic lids.

Every personal decision to do better might set off a ripple effect that might lead to change on a societal, even global scale.

(This is not to say that we could possibly save the world with personal actions alone; that requires political decisions above all. But these are based on the overall public sentiment, which in turn can be influenced by each of us.)

🎵 No one talks to him
About how he lives
He thinks that the choices
He makes are just his
Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves
And others will follow the choices he's made
He lives on the edge
He's old enough to decide
His brother who wants to be him is just nine
He can do what he wants
Because it's his right
The choices he makes change a nine-year old's life 🎶

#Protecting #boreal #caribou has a #RippleEffect in the #ecosystem by #preserving #migratory #bird #habitats and #mitigating #ClimateChange by keeping #forests intact, she said. The #species is also #important to #Indigenous communities that practise #traditional #hunting and #trapping .

Her hope is for #government and #industry officials to #listen to the #recommendations that have been made by #environmental groups and #IndigenousLeaders for years.

Six ways the war came to be
More than many could foresee
Lives were shattered, dreams were broken
The world's fate now heavily token
Economies were upended, lives reordered
The consequences were soon recorded
People's lives, then and now, remain altered
All thanks to the war, its ripple effect faltered

I didn’t mind that Nathanael did that b/c it was undeniable proof to me what Elon was doing x1,000,000,000x

Had posted it in a community forum & the numbers usually regularly go far over 200-300 more views over what it stopped at, so it was incredibly interesting to me

He’s a VERY VERY insecure person (know 1 #sociopath #psychopath you know them all) & right now very intelligent people believe that🤬🤬🤬is a genius!

But facts do not lie:) #rippleEffect
