            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I find it fascinating that we’re the first generation with all sorts of information instantly available to us. Six degrees of separation has been cut in about half. We could get a hold of just about anyone, find information on just about anything, and make a difference with what we find.</p><p>Have you ever thought about why the government keeps approving food that is flat-out toxic, that by the time our children have grandchildren half the species on this planet will be extinct, why the cures for cancer that were discovered over 100 years ago are not being talked about, how we could all do something to stop this madness?</p><p>Instead we choose to focus on a fucking red cup.</p><p>In our oh-so-busy lives where we don’t have time to volunteer, do something that has a positive impact on the planet, or improves at least one life somehow, we choose to talk about the pity, small stuff and keep it circulating in our news feeds.</p><p>THIS is what’s wrong with the world!</p><p>If we took that same energy and time it takes to spread that “news” and put it towards something that actually matters, we could make a change. A positive change.</p><p>Don’t let the water run while you’re brushing your teeth. Get one of those reusable bags at the grocery store instead of having your 5 items bagged in 7 plastic bags. Encourage a friend. Compliment a stranger. It’s the little stuff that, if you keep repeating the little stuff and share THAT with others, maybe there would be hope for us. Otherwise, what the cup?!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=92bbc95e0cd6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
