I used to rely on the government and other people to change things.

I could have become one of the nutcase protesters that just complain but do nothing else.

I have decided it is up to me to change things.
So I did.
We now buy our electricity from a company that produces it strictly from wind power.
I pay a little extra but it is worth it to me.

I run my vehicles on veggie oil, and veggie blends.
I recycle most everyting I can.
I am composting, and starting a garden.
Many other little things.

Other people see the things I do and they are atracted to the lifestyle and start making changes themselves.

Shutting up and making the changes myself has helped way more than complaining to others.
