The 1% Solution
For many people, working full time towards a big problem is impractical or impossible. Which is totally okay.
A simple way we can all contribute to our planet?
Discuss important issues and problems with other people on a regular basis. If we all do that, change will happen. This would take 1% of our time and energy:
15 minute meaningful conversation
1440 minutes in a day
15 / 1440 = 0.01041667
1.04% of your day devoted to helping the world
Regardless of socioeconomic status, culture, or identity, anyone can contribute this much time and energy to the human species and the planet.
We are what we think about. And if we think and talk about these big picture things, even just 1% of the time, we can change the world.
