Footprints

No one wants to leave this earth without leaving something behind, a footprint. But the footprints we've been making for the last 100 years are cementing the future of our children.

We demand choices, but are removing the option of choice for those to come.

Footprints aren't only measured in carbon credits. Your footprint can be seen in trash left on a trail, an ended relationship because you were just too busy, a smashed front bumper because you decided to grab the keys that night; you leave a footprint everywhere you go. Everything you do, whether good or bad, leaves something behind and has an effect on what is to come.

Hopefully, our goal, as a generation, can be to lessen the footprints we leave.

A Bigger Effect

It always seems hard to think of how a single person might impact the world but it can be done. The trick is to start small, get a small group of people together for the cause and you will be making change before you know it!

Mr Trash

I found this video on the Good Magazine website that was shot in the studio I worked at over the summer. It deals with the issue of garbage and what we do with all of the waste that is produced nonstop everyday. It has some interesting stuff in it and is pretty cool to look at, so give it a go!
