Am I insignificant?
my mind tells me no
Everything I do has impact
And everywhere I go
Large or small the planet feels effect
A light switch switched
A fire lit
Rubbish ditched
I must be more proactive
To save my corner of the world
Turn off lights, drive less
Food bought, eaten, less hurled
Clothes bought less often
Or even not at all
2nd hand is just as good
Maybe give them an overhaul
These little bits might seem so small
To a world that is so massive
But done by all
The positive becomes cumulative

Definitely, small can be very big if done by the masses.
There is something beautiful about the interconnectedness of our world, and every small or large contribution to the bigger picture. Thank you for sharing this
'Food bought
eaten, less hurled
Food bought, eaten
less hurled
Food bought, eaten, less hurled!'
(thanks for sharing,
I couldn't agree more!)
That old saw "The personal is political" always included, I thought, personal efforts to reduce one's ecological footprint on the world.
Well writ.
