contagious change
A heaving, life-ful list of examples of how we're all passing it on...what can you add? We find out every day stuff that CoaSTies are doing to pass it on, to inspire change, to light up someone's imagination...or put a rocket somewhere where it's needed...it doesn't take a maths whizz to figure out if we all did just one thing like this every day, that's 1260+++ Positive Changes every day...EVERY DAY
.
The scary thing is thinking you're the only one. That it's a leap of faith. That's you'll hear that soul-pinching sound of no-one-else-coming-forward. Well, no more. Your leap of faith, your tiny change, your chat, email, cup of coffee with someone, your switching your energy supplier, your choosing fairtade chocolate, your deciding to walk instead of taking the car, your taking a bag and asking the shopkeeper if they'd thought of not handing our plastic ones, your hearing an idea and thinking it's great and you can pass THAT on...it's all adding up, much MUCH faster than you realise. You'll be astonished who is watching. Go on. Get off piste. Step out of line; do one Good Thing. You'll inspire a hundred others.

good money: ethical finance
