One Million Acts of Green

Last night I was watching one of my favourite news programs, "The Hour" with host George Strombolopolous. Have you ever watched this program? It's a good show, aimed at younger people who like to get their current events in a more relaxed, 'hip' manner. One of the things he talked about last night was a new program called One Million Acts of Green. It's a page that is trying to encourage Canadians to do big and small things to save the environment. Hopefully as a group Canadians (and immigrants) can do one million things to help the environment. THey are talking about little things, like washing clothes in cold water, to big things like buying more environmentally friendly cars and products to heat and cool your house. The page also tells us how much Greenhouse gas emmissions we are saving with this act. So, I joined today and I will see what I can do. I already do somethings, but I can do others.

So, my question is... how much difference do you think one person can make to the environment? After all, its the big companies who do the most damage. If I don't remember to switch off my lights, or I let my car run too long, does it matter?
