Micro-Change

This week for my blog, I read an article from National Geographic called Best Micro-Photos of 2009. The photos really struck me. They were all of these tiny little things on our Earth, that honestly, you had no idea what they were or what they looked like. This article really opened my eyes to everything around me. We all get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the world, we don't have any time to stop and smell the roses as they say.
This one picture really hit me. It was of some microscopic plants found in the ocean in which each plant depends on the other for survival. This plant contributes to maintaining homeostosis within our planet's climate, and they're smaller then the tip of a pen. They're called carbon sinks, and are actually really pretty neat to look at. It just struck me that something so tiny can have such a big impact on something so much bigger. Like one little human and the entire world. Look at what just one ten year old girl can do when she decides she wants to make a difference. She changed the world, one blog at a time. We can too. Maybe not the entire world, but just a group of friends, one spark is all it takes before you're entire cause takes off. Maybe it's just making the right choice, but every little thing we do counts for something, and can change the mind of one person. Sort of like Disney Channel's friends for change. (Yes I occasionally whatch Disney Channel :) ) Shine a light and send it on. It's so true. You alone can make a difference in the lives of many, just like the microscopic carbon sinkers. Maintaning the entire Earth is just one way to make a difference. How will you shine your light into our world?
