Individual action has the power to trigger big impact
Take for example the impact of Wangari Muta Maathai. She was born in Nyeri, a rural area of Kenya back in 1940. In 1976, while she was serving in the National Council of Women, Wangari introduced the idea of community-based tree planting. She continued to develop this idea into a broad-based grassroots organisation, the Green Belt Movement, whose main focus is poverty reduction and environmental conservation through tree planting.
Boyan Slat noticed when diving there was a lot of waste in the sea, and started an initiative which is now The Ocean Clean Up. They are bringing science, people and business together to attack this massive issue.
Our individual actions matter.
