I love that analogy. No, you're not going to personally save the world by reducing your carbon footprint. But you know what you are going to be? One leaf on a tree in a forest, making that little bit more oxygen that helps collectively make the world a better place.

And that's worth doing. Especially if you can encourage other people to be leaves too.

@stabby_cicada and this is why I make art and tell stories in the way only I know how to. At age 4, I learned it was my gift. At age 60, I have finally learned that

• self belief is powerful
• individual creativity feeds the collective engine

Together, we can generate the energy needed to move from the old world of exploitation and division to the new world of community coherence and equitability.
