Grow your own positivity

I was cheered by this article in the Guardian on Friday. It asks the question, 'Why bother to make lifestyle changes to combat climate change when anything we can do is a drop in the ocean compared to the size of the problem?' The author concludes that while personal changes are not sufficient, nor is waiting passively for governments to act. He suggests starting by growing some food - a small positive action that can inspire further self-sufficiency and creativity in the cause of sustainability.
