Terrific post! You’ve reminded me that it’s so important to focus on the things that we can control. Our individual choices are political –and they can be powerful. Many of the things you mention that we can do to help our environment, such as buying greener products, can also help reduce the growing influence corporatons have on our political system. I see it as interrelated and will be boycotting those businesses(and their products) owned by certain contributors to certain campaigns.These businesses always seem to be environmental offenders. Anyway, just thought I’d throw that out there.
I’m reading your blog for the first time. It’s very informative. I look forward to coming back and exploring more links.

Thank you so much for that reminder that individuals can make a difference! We need to hear that after an election day like we just had.

Thanks for the inspiration Diane! I’m glad to know about that household behavior study. Good fuel for the fire against people who say individual actions don’t matter.

Absolutely, Diane! And a good reminder.
I especially appreciated that 7% statistic – was not familiar with it.
