If you think a single person is just too small to make a difference, you should read up on Jadav Payeng, the "Forest Man of India".
When he was 16 he started planting trees on a deforested sandbar. He made it a habit of planting at least one tree every single day - over the course of the last four decades.
His forest now encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550 hectares and is home to not only over one hundred elephants, but also monkeys, tigers and deer.
Be the change you desire!
@fribbledom That only works if you don't have a system actively pushing back on the change you're trying to make.
If Mr. Payeng was up against some active logging, his forest wouldn't stand a chance.
I get the sentiment of your statement, just that sometimes the best way to challenge something is to create something new entirely, instead of working within it.
