“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him… We need not wait to see what others do.” -- Mohandas Gandhi
“If we all had the attitude that we can do anything, that we can be anything, if we follow our dreams and our hearts…we can change the world.” -- Maggie Doyne
This page is dedicated to showcasing people and organizations who are living examples of the words of Mead and Gandhi and Doyne in action; they are not waiting for others to fix the world's problems, instead they are working in countless ways to brighten the future for all of humanity and the natural world in which we live:
