The Cove

It's one thing to hear "Save the Dolphin!" over and over again by people holding signs and asking for signatures. It's another to see what is happening to make those people fight for the animals. I'm usually very wary around "animal-huggers." I'm a lover of animals but I don't go to the extremes that groups like PETA do. It used to be that animals were either pets or foods to me. But recently that has changed. A while ago I stopped eating beef because of the terrible impact the production has on our environment. I'm not going to stop eating meat all together but I will do small things like beef to do my part to better our world.

"The Cove" had a quote similar to this one I stumbled upon, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” --Margaret Mead

What she said is true, it takes just one person to start a movement and every individual to spread that message. I may not single-handedly change the world by signing a petition or not eating beef but I am one of many who are doing (or who are not doing) the same. As a species we are powerful creatures when organized for a common purpose. We can change the world. Look at our past. Look at all the destruction that has come out of war, imperialism and greed. If we can use that energy to make something good come out of it we are all the more powerful.
