…. When you take action, your hopes become embodied in physical reality….

Author’s Comment: Forever talking about hope but taking no action bring life to that hope is like forever talking about loving another but never giving her the time and attention which feeds that love. It’s worthless to say that “I hope the natural environment gets better” and doing nothing about it. In this case (and in every case) action can take on many forms. You can go out to restore a natural area. You can clean up a local waterway. You can join an environmental group and offer some volunteer time to them. You can donate much-needed funds to those groups who are providing hope in action by what they do. Find ways of bringing your hope to life, and feel the jolt of energy it bestows upon you.
