Reading about climate change or global warming subjects can be overwhelming. I’ve experienced moments of despair. I’ve thought it’s too late already, or that it doesn’t matter what I do. I’ve been angry. I’ve been sad.
But then comes the next moment. The next day. And I see another miracle maker. They are ordinary people like you and me. Individuals. Families and neighbours and groups of friends. Companies and corporations. What I’m realising is that no matter how small the action, it counts. Every time you decide to go green, organic, or ecological, you become a miralce maker.

– Biking, bying local, bying seasonal. The best! –
I hope you’ll be challenged and inspired. There are numerous ways to take action. There are endless ways of being a miracle maker.
