One Million Acts

So i have recently taken a liking to the new campaign implemented by CBC and George Strombo, One Million Acts of Green. I personally think it is a great attempt to motivate people to be more "green". I know a lot of people can go absurdly overboard tending to the necessities of the earth. However, these are just simple everyday habits that take no effort at all to change and surprising, when completed by a large sum of people, can actually make a difference. I can understand that all you environmentally friendly skeptical people are probably thinking what you always think ... "what a crock" right? Well maybe, but maybe not? A lot of people think that a small change that they make can't make an impact on the environment. Well you're right, you can't. But together ... we probably could make an extremely small change. But a change nonetheless.
I was explaining to my father the idea of one million acts of green, and although he was intrigued byt the marketing of the idea (hes always looking for good marketing tips), he was skeptical. He asked me "how do they actually know that you did that act of green". Well chuck ... they don't know. Nobody knows. Only you know. I would hope that people aren't lying to themselves to make themselves feel like they are making a difference. In the end my friends, it is only the human race that will suffer.

I'm no tree hugger, but I do have extreme hope for the human race, that one day we can come together as one, and helping the environment is a small, but good start.


So go. Be green.
