P30-31 Continue to speak out !

It raises suspicion and accusations when local authorities don ’ t heed feedback from ratepayers whom they are supposed to serve

@ green Says …

It instils hope … hope that Mother Earth begins to heal . And that when we leave this realm , we leave a better world for our children .

We won ’ t lie . We rely heavily on social media to learn about green-life efforts . Their take is refreshing .

As we make that transition , many non-profit organisations and individuals share what and how to look for information , such as resources and ingredients used in products and services . As consumers get more perceptive , smarter and more mindful , companies inevitably adapt to stay in the game .

This matters , the people ’ s voice … because they are ultimately the most valuable stakeholder in consumerism . We assume that our small step in making environmental-conscious decisions may not carry weight but efforts like these function like a domino effect .

We make a change , and someone takes notice . They enquire to learn , and more people become aware and start making changes . That is how it starts . And before we know it , it becomes a global effort .

It is the little things that we do as a community that , in the end , add up to a mountain . p26-27
