Look. There’s a creek near where I live that has its own volunteer non-profit organization.

It’s just one creek. One trickle of water among millions. But people decided to care about that creek. A bunch of people, volunteers, got together and they cleaned several tons of trash out of the creek.

They got to work removing non-native plants from the creek banks and planting native trees.

They got a nearby water treatment plant to upgrade and stop polluting the creek.

They educate people and tell them about the fish and invertebrates that live in creeks and why they should care.

I think that it matters. I think that making sure your community has clean water matters. I think making sure one specific old lady’s house doesn’t flood matters. I think one stream where fish can live again matters. I think one patch of green space in a downtown area matters. If nothing else, it makes people’s lives less shitty, and that’s worthwhile in itself.

Stop asking “how do I save the world?” Start asking “can I get together several people to clean up that creek downtown?”

We need people doing more of this, seriously! Yes, it’s important to have people protecting the big things–the old growth forests and the marine reserves and the major rivers. But the little tributaries and patches of woods and meadows also need protecting and restoring. Every acre of habitat that we can make better for wildlife again is one more acre that is going to help them survive everything else we throw at them.

You don’t have to save the whole world. But you can do a whole lot to make your little corner of it better, with whatever time, energy and resources you have. Even if you only have enough in you to pull a grocery bag full of trash out of a creek–you’ve helped.

#my current practise is this: if youre making a hard decision it probably means that you will be turning away from something in order#to turn toward the other decision#and if you decide that the Right Thing For You is to turn away from something you care about#it is VITAL to let yourself feel all the sorrow of the turning away#as well as all the joy of the turning toward!#because if you deny yourself the grief of your loss#then it curdles and twists and hurts and hurts and hurts#little jabs forever.#but if you can FEEL SAD…. FEEL LOSS…. CRY ABT IT….. then the joy of the decision you WANT to make gets to shine out afterwards#at least for me (via @opabine)
