Paul Fischer 4/10/2018 12:20 PMWhen I was browsing through the actions last week I started to feel a little overwhelmed. What I found, though, is most of them don't require major commitments, just raising my self-awareness of issues that touch the environment and people, and taking small steps to effect change in a positive way.
