I think I made a difference today - I was on a stand for "Save the World day" and I got people to play a game called "become a climate warrior". I had several children and some adults taking an interest in things they can do to help the environment, and gave out some useful information. Do you think this will make a difference? Have you done things like this?

Yes, surely it will. Taking small steps will only make our journey a long one. I think one can start it from our house or office by pledging to use paper only when necessary and go for recycled or eco-friendly stuff wherever we can. I guess, such small strides will make a big difference. I salute your effort. Good going

Hi You are well on your way to being a climate warrior! Purchasing eco-friendly items was also on the game! That's a good idea to use less paper. I remember hearing about the paperless office 10 or 20 years ago, but I don't think they are there yet!

I think it will, even picking up a bit of garbage makes a bit of a difference, I used to love walking down by the beach with a couple of plastic bags and pick up bits of glass and rubbish I would like to think that makes a difference as well, we all could do a bit like you and it will all help.

Thankyou lilaclady (I luv your picture) It's funny you mention you did that, as one of the items on the Climate Warrior game was to join a community clean up (for one point) - so what you did is pretty similar!

Im really glad to see someone working towards a greener tomorrow. For too long have we neglected our planet. Its in quiet a bad shape. What we need is to create an awareness to move people. Most people are aware about the crisis but are not willing to do anything about it mostly because they don't know how to start.. Let as many people know what you have done and make them realize that it just takes a little effort to bring about a big change. What you have done will make a big difference. The best way to start off is to talk to your friends and family. I wish you all the best :)
