What is the best way to get resutls?
Everyone has the responsibility to contribute to the wellbeing of others or the environment – whether this is a starving child in Africa, your own backyard, a member of your family or a national park. There are any number of ways that we can do this but I think they all fall generally within three categories of contribution; Observation and sharing the information with others, engagement and taking action, and being a leader/pioneer who others observe and emulate. This raises a number of questions for me.
Is it possible to go through life as an observer, reviewing everything you see, without just being an observer in your own life? Where does observation end and engagement begin? Once you engage fully with something, at what point do you become the person that others observe, inspiring them to also engage? Can you still be an objective observer when you are fully engaged or the main focus of other people’s observations?

In all our discussions about ways to motivate people to think about their environmental impact, consumerism, the price of eggs in china etc. i think we've forgotten time. there must be a lot of people who could and would do more if they only had a bit of time dedicated to stopping and thinking and doing simple things and maybe even extraordinary things.
If everyone had a job that worked to improve the environment or living conditions then we wouldn't need to worry about having the time to do good things.
But then that doesn't take a desire for luxury into account - that's a whole other issue though.
