The book I'm reading by David Orr about ecological design does a good job of bringing everything together, and explaining how we have to take everything into account and think ahead when using ecological design, as does the research I'm doing about Biosphere 2 for my term paper. (Which, by the way, I worked on for 1 and a half hours yesterday! Two whole pages! That just makes me want to squeal with pride!) It's all tied together. But when you look at all these things gone wrong in the world - global warming, poverty, disease, starvation, genocide, pollution, animal extinction, poor diets and unhealthy food, waste and waste and waste - it's so hard to put things in perspective! Not to mention all these wars and oil discrepancies! It's too much to deal with! I don't know what to do!
I'm doing my best though - taking out the compost every day, turning off lights and unplugging appliances...you know, among other things. Still, there's so much more. The world is so huge. And I want to help people too!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about that. Needed a moment to express my rage there...
Anyway, my point is that there's so much to do I don't even know where to start. Gosh, that could be my motto, because I'm that way about a lot of things. However, once I get started, I always do really well. So I just have to get started. Wait, I am...Ooohh, this is confusing! Sometimes I really just can't wait until I can go to college and then have a job and be focused entirely on really worthwhile things! (Well, at least I hope it'll work out that way.) Then again, sometimes I just love being a kid.
So I'll do what I can, Earth. I'll do what I can now, and I'll do more in the future. Don't worry - I'll keep workin' at it.
You're doing so much now by being a great person, doing well in school, talking to people about the things you are passionate about. Keep doing those things and new opportunities will open up for you to do more. You are developing the tools you will need to take effective action. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!
