I found this perusing one of my usual sites today, made me think a little bit. I try to teach my kids to be giving , grateful, compassionate, but is it ever enough? There's so much more that we can do, is there ever a point where we can feel satisfied with ourselves? I almost hope not. This child's view is just amazing, and if more thought like her the world would no doubt be incredible.
( it's an old video ;) )
If you don't know how to fix it, stop breaking it. It's hard to do, but we as a family try more and more to reduce the waste we produce and recycle what we can. Things like this make me want to be a better person.
