The scariest thing to me is that people think their actions won't make a difference.
I was speaking to an organization about reducing its flying. In the spring they wouldn't consider it. One 16-year-old girl, Greta Thunberg, sailing across the Atlantic put the initiative on the table.
She didn't plan to influence that organization but she did.
We all have that potential.
I've given one TEDx talk on environmental leadership http://joshuaspodek.com/my-tedx-talk-is-online-find-your-delicious http://joshuaspodek.com/my-tedx-talk-is-online-find-your-del... with a second in a few weeks https://www.tedxwaltham.com/tedxwaltham-2019 https://www.tedxwaltham.com/tedxwaltham-2019. My podcast http://joshuaspodek.com/podcast http://joshuaspodek.com/podcast is creating role models among globally renowned people.
I've become somewhat of a role model -- in my fourth year of not flying, I haven't filled a load of trash in over a year, I pick up litter every day -- and people write me to tell me they're doing it, as are their friends.
These results aren't enough, and some disasters will happen, but each person's actions contribute, including yours -- mostly by leading others to contribute too.
