Changing the World

I have been wondering if one person can change the world.

I try to help the world.

I have done little things. I stopped eating meat, and I started to recycle paper and plastic products that I use. I never buy bottles of water, and I only use my reusable bottles. I use only reusable grocery bags. I don't drive to work. But is that making a difference?

I just don't think it's that much. Because even though I stopped eating meat, there are still people out there that grill up 6 steaks every other night, then eat two, and throw away the rest. (like my old roommate)

Even though I walk to work, it isn't significant enough to make a difference. It's like I live three minutes away (walking time) from my work, so what if I am not spending 10 seconds extra in my car a day. It doesn't seem like it matters.

I just don't feel like it matters. But I want it to matter. I want these simple things I do to change the world.

But can simple things change the world?
