My 5: Miriam Kashia, Peace Corps Volunteer

BPGL: What are the five most important things we can do to save the planet?
MIRIAM KASHIA:
  • Make changes that reflect your increasing knowledge and concern, and tell people what you are doing to inspire others.
  • Join and support some of the excellent environmental activist organizations (NRDC, Sierra Club, a local group, etc.).

  • Stop waiting for “someone else” to take care of the problem (the government, big business, environmental groups, “Tree Huggers,” and so on).
  • Simplify, simplify, simplify. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore.
  • Be ready to make so called “sacrifices” to save the planet. This means me and you. We may discover that sacrificing complexity and excess has intrinsic rewards.
