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.

@Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org I am likely many miles away, but I am here with you.

Today I'm going to plant some seedlings in the earth and say your name. When you next have the opportunity, please do similar for me.

We are not selfish, we are taking care of each other, little bit by bit. You are not alone. We are never alone.
