I like Kathy's point about "...not paying attention that there is indeed much we can do to minimize our impact and live less wastefully. Our small steps can be meaningful."

I think it is those small steps that are achievable and help people participate in helping the planet heal and improve.

Small steps, yes! Those are things we CAN do. Thanks for reading and commenting, Neil.

Most of our habits - both good and bad habits are learned from the people around us. I have little doubt Kathy has stirred-up many good habits in those around her. Our many small bad steps have gotten us where we are, logic tells me that many small good steps is the way to correct course to a cleaner planet.

Interesting to hear that minimising investment in oil is considered "out there".

Thomas, thank you for catching that; I honestly didn't, during the editing. Knowing Kathy as I do, and her dedication to the Earth, I suspect she didn't mean that in the way it sounds. But it is puzzling, I concur.
