The formula for bringing about change is P+ D + T.
Persistence plus Determination plus Time. Time is the Biggy! Like turning an ocean liner all things happen s-l-o-w-l-y. And that is after the decision is made.
The formula for personal change is A+ M + T.
Awareness plus Motivation plus Time. I have been aware for about two years of the need to become a plastic bag free household. The motivation to do something about it came about 18 months ago. I still have some plastic bags in the house but am gradually changing to only biodegrable ones.
TIME is the king here and calling all the shots. Time is stronger than Persistence and wears down Determination but is a vital part of the formula. It takes time to change your own behaviour and even longer to change that of others........... how much time do we have?
Are all campaigners like the character in Shawshank redemption, scraping away at a wall of indifference with a tiny ineffective chisel. It took him 20 years............... but he got there. So can I.
