You should read Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World without a Bullhorn if you haven't already. I interviewed the author (Omkari Williams) on the podcast and she provided insightful reminders about the fact that we all have something unique to offer. We aren't all Greta Thurnbergs, nor should we aspire to be! What matters is not the size of the action, nor how vigorous the action is. It’s all about consistency.

I needed to hear this today. Just returned to our boat-home from our favorite local restaurant which we love supporting. Our solar panels are running the lights and charging my phone as I read this. We keep trying to do more but often it feels like not enough. Thank you!

Yes to this! I whole heartedly believe in the butterfly effect, one small change can make a big difference. I work with toddlers and know that I may not see my influence but hope that because of me they will be grow up to be earth warriors. I checked on fruit trees I helped plant last earth day, at my favorite park, and they are all thriving and in bud--so happy! FYI if you check out the information page for Jennings Environmental Center/Park they are having an event in April where we help to clean up invasives in the park. Great way to be an activist. Plus we get fed.
