How personal actions can kick-start a Sustainability Revolution?

In this article entitled "How personal actions can kick-start a sustainability revolution" Cathryn Clarke Murray writes about the importance of taking small steps to promote a more sustainable world. Murray thinks that these small steps will help to transform the world one step at a time. She states "Practiced consistently, small steps facilitate both gradual evolution and rapid revolution for positive lasting change." By saying this she is recognizing that these small lifestyle changes like turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth will not change the world now but gradually it will make a difference. She also hopes that it inspires a new way of thinking and make us think of other ways we can help make our world more sustainable. She later goes on to talk of the importance of transforming sustainability into being something "cool" and virtuous". This is something that we are seeing and more and more each day. Hopefully being a sustainable person is something that remains cool and more people will strive to make our world a cleaner and better place.
