What the heck could I do about it all?! The world is a mess!

After spending far too long despairing that I wasn’t being invited to give a grand speech to the UN I decided to try looking differently at things. I had done nothing to help anyone so far with all my moaning and hand-wringing.

Quite a lot of my experiences around my local map had involved negative emotions about the problems I was seeing.

So I decided to return to the very first grid square I explored, but this time with a positive attitude that I was going to take my first tiny little step towards actually doing something.

And it was great!

Did I save the world? Pretty much. (Not entirely true). 

Did I fix that specific patch of land. Nope. But I did leave it better than it was when I arrived.

Did I come home feeling really upbeat and inspired to keep getting out into nature and doing little things like this? Absolutely.

It was great. I highly recommend it. If you’re despairing, try choosing a tiny bit of hope to help get you moving forwards again.

Below is a short film showing what I got up to.
