As just one individual we are not going to change the world – however much we wish to do so. Just as a greater impact can be created by signing a petition along with 10,000s of others (and recently a million people signed a petition calling on the Government to dead an end to oil and gas drilling!!),
so joining a climate or environmental group can be beneficial. For us as individuals it is an encouragement to know that we are not alone but that others share our concerns and understand our feelings – people who are ‘singing from the same hymn sheet’. As a group people’s different skills can be utilised such that the impact is more than the sum of the parts. The group can be a good place to think through existing conundrums, to acquire new data and to explore alternative ideas.
