How To Save The World With One Small Change
We all want to save the world, but sometimes it feels like our individual efforts won’t make a difference. But what if we all made small changes in our lives that added up to a big impact?
I’m Ellen
I’m a mum and wife with the “normal” suburban life of school runs, bills, grocery shopping, etc, and I also save money, am healthier and am saving the planet, just by starting with one small change.
“But what can I do about it?”
I’m only one person, can I really make any difference to the world?
I don’t like worms and I don’t want rotting food in my house or yard.
I can’t afford solar panels.
I’m renting and I can’t get permission from my landlord.
I’m in an apartment and don’t have a garden.
If you nodded your head or said yes to any of these, I can help.
This journey is not for those who don’t care about or don’t want to:
Live a healthier life
Help the local economy
So why not start today?
