The Grumpy Elder's Guide to Saving the Planet

“Act as if what you do makes a difference, it does.” William James

“We should try to leave the world a better place than when we entered it. As individuals, we can make a difference, whether it is to probe the secrets of Nature, to clean up the environment and work for peace and social justice, or to nurture the inquisitive, vibrant spirit of the young by being a mentor and a guide.” Michio Kaku

"Never ever depend on governments or institutions to solve any major problems. All social change comes from the passion of individuals." Margaret Mead
