Thursday readaloud: What Matters

For Earth Day, I'm reading a new book: What Matters, by Alison Hughes. This book shows. that even small acts can have big positive effects, often beyond what we ourselves may observe. Our collective behavior creates the norms that carry all of us along like a current. One person's behavior can raise a question or model an option that might not have been considered otherwise. Each of us can do our part. Be sure to watch the video below of Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. She was honored for the Green Belt Movement, in which Kenyan women planted millions of trees to rebuild the environment and develop economic self-sufficiency. Like Wangari Maathai, let's be hummingbirds.
