Andrew I love the simple phrase you posted here !

In my talks, after I've done my best to explain permaculture and the big picture, I always get this question "WHat can I do? - What are some measures little ol' me can take in my daily life to make a difference" and I always hate that question and I didn't know why - On the one hand I think whatever I suggest is trifling and hackneyed - "recycle, use less, walk"- D'uh - On the other hand there's my belief that we as individuals are being played - that the real leverage is not, e.g. you and I using less water when only 10% of water use is residential....

Here's my answer to the question forhwith: DO WHAT YOU CAN, HERE,NOW !! Period - You do the right thing cause it's the right thing to do..... Exercise the ethics: Care for the earth, care for the people, return a surplus.
