Bear with me here!
We may not have the government that we all want
We may not have the structure of governance that we all want
But we all share our lives and planet, and want the same; for them to be the best they can for those we hold dear
We might not agree politically, we have to accept the +ves of not being the same, but we share this value, & regardless of who the supposed head honcho is at any one time, we have the power to act...
I was struck by a chat between @Chrislike16 and @FraserSouthey about an initiative to encourage each other to do the little things, that will collectively make a difference...
We can share, motivate and encourage each to act, rather than just bleat
10 things each, anything, no matter how trivial they may seem, that we'll do differently in 2020 and thereafter...
Share ideas, share ideas to achieve this, share achievements, share good news and information, places to volunteer, goodwill projects, ethical company news...
Who's up for it?
We will need ideas of how best to spread the word
I'm quite happy to collate the ideas, from any replies to this, but have a relatively low following...

Here's a link to the companies working with the Woodland Trust to plant more trees, maintain & sustain our forests, maybe worth considering if you still have Christmas shopping to do!

Anything to inspire!
My 10 for 2020 are to:
1. Make sure I chat to two of my elderly neighbours every week
2. Not buy water in a plastic bottle
3. Only buy meat and fish ethical caught/ reared
5. Only eat seasonal fruit & veg if poss whilst still getting my 5 a day (Jaffa cakes not included)
6. Once day a week, don't eat anything that was made in a factory
8. Do a good deed for no reason, every single day
9. Say hello to a stranger, every single day (easier for me, I live in a small town, so it ain't crazy 😜)
If you think mine don't add up (I'm a bit dubious of no. 6) tell me, send each other links, we can change them as we go, as long as there's 10
Love not hate
Build bridges not walls
If everyone did that, imagine what might happen 😮
