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.

You've taken the biggest and most important first step: changing yourself. You have become the change you want to see in the world.

Others will follow. Thank you for doing your share.
