The other night my family and I were talking about the problems our society faces in the future: global warming, diminishing natural resources, general destruction of the environment.... all that good uplifting stuff you hear so much about lately. And the questions was raised, "But what can I, as an individual, actually do?" By now you've heard that if we each just did a little bit it would add up to a lot. But, for me, and I think most people, that's a generally tough idea to grasp. First of all there are nearly 7 billion people, so my contribution is 0.00000001% of the whole. What the use? Secondly, if I actually do something, what's to say everyone else will do it as well? As I mulled these questions over in my mind I remembered this clip about an ant colony my dad had showed me a few months ago. Each ant does its small part and the net result is something truly mind-boggling (If you don't have 6 minutes, skip ahead to the middle to see the really cool stuff in the second half). Enjoy....
