Yes AND

Someone recently sent me an article that said we should focus on changing policy, not on making small consumer choices, hoping that will make the difference. For me, I think it's a YES AND situation. 

Change global policy affecting climate, poverty and justice.

Yes and....

1. Consume less, buy less, use less. 

2. Consume local, buy local, use local.
3. Consume organic/natural, buy organic/natural, use organic/natural.

AND

Talk to friends, neighbors, students, family about why you are doing it.

AND

Get churches, schools, government, companies, to make more sustainable choices.

AND 

Advocate and Vote for people and policies that are more sustainable, and support research to find best practices.

AND 

Join with others who are making a difference at any of these levels

AND

Make it a life-style!!!
