The Green Team Gazette often talks about about the many ways one person can make an impact. Each one person, doing one thing, multiplied out through the 6.78 billion people in the world, can amount to a grand difference.
Once again...the power for change starts with one.
This time, the message is from Jamie Oliver (from last year's ABC TV show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution." The reason for his message above is his acceptance of the 2010 TED Prize in April of this year. His "One Wish to Change the World:"
“I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.” ~ Jamie Oliver
TED, which stands for "Technology, Entertainment, & Design" is an organization dedicated to sharing worthy ideas on all 3 of those factors. If you haven't experienced some of the greatest minds out there, sharing their exceptional "more than two cents" wisdom through TED Talks, you need to head over to http://www.ted.com/ to check some out.
