I love that quote, which I first heard from populist philosopher Jim Hightower. I think of that wisdom when we ask how to be effective in a world with so many challenges. Another way of thinking of it is "How do we love all children, of all species, for all time?" (a quote I heard on the E2 program on OPB).
One of the great answers to that is beautifully illustrated in the children's book "Swimmy" - a simple idea - join together.

Call on EarthShare for help with
your office’s Green Team
Do you work for a company
that has a Green Team or Sustainability Committee? Many Pacific Northwest employers have these
squads of employees who are committed to improving their workplace’s environmental
performance, and making the lives of all employees greener. But once the recycling center is set up, and
the copier paper has been switched to a recycled content, what can these groups
do to keep sustainability in the forefront?
EarthShare Oregon can help
employers with this common problem. Its dozens of local member charities work
on everything from bicycle commuting to renewable power generation. Through
EarthShare, these nonprofits can help your company’s green team explore new
sustainability avenues.
Contact Meghan Humphreys at EarthShare Oregon (503-223-9015) or meghan@earthshare-oregon.org) to
discuss potential topics for your office’s upcoming Green Team meetings.
