From Passive, Helpless Spectator To Creating Positive Change: “You Can’t Help Being An Optimist”

• “You can’t help but be an optimist when you are contributing to positive change. Believe in your own power and then to be bold enough to use it. Together we will create a better world.” Marianne Schnall, writing in today’s Huffington Post, on “Be The Change: Inspiration and Advice From Activists and Celebrities”

• Here’s an upbeat video from People For Bikes, shared by the folks at 350.org. Watch the video, sign the pledge (if you are in the U.S.) and – most importantly – ride your bike today!

• Cartoon of the month via the Union of Concerned Scientists:

Have a great weekend, everyone, and remember: “Everybody has the power to make changes… and every change makes a difference.” (Actor and Activist Cameron Diaz)
