elbalesI recently downloaded a news reader to subscribe to a few RSS feeds from sites that interest me. One of them led to WeBuyItGreen Blog, a blog dedicated to fair trade and sustainable commerce. Yesterday's entry really touched me. The author talked about an interview that the mayor of Newark, NJ did on Bill Moyers. He's got a quote from it in his sidebar.
This is the cornerstone of my belief in individual action. I cannot make other people do things; I can only act and hope that my actions inspire others to act. "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
So this is my challenge to you: Be the change.
Love,

"And if everybody stopped talking and started focusing on doing something more than I did yesterday in order to change tomorrow, then we're gonna have the America of our dreams." --Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey
