A Pharmacist mobilizes his community to fight the global pandemic. This post demonstrates how a story from external websites can be integrated, keeping the original formatting and design intact rather than just copying a link.

Thinking Global Acting Local
If you want to make a change,
start local.
If you want to fix the government,
start local.
If you want to make the world a better place,
start local.
A Navajo legend tells of an old widow who lived alone in an isolated hogan that had fallen into neglect. One day, as she sat down for tea, she found no place to set her cup. So she cleared a small spot on the table. That simple act pleased her, and she cleared a little more. The clean space spread across the table, then the room, and finally the whole home.
That is how change begins. With one small act. One clear space.
This site celebrates people and communities who start local—sometimes with just a single step—and grow their efforts outward to meet the world’s greatest challenges. From climate action to food security, from health to human rights, these stories show how ordinary people create extraordinary change.
Global problems can feel overwhelming. But solutions often begin right here, where we live.
Some Examples
(While this website is under construction, some of the examples demonstrate how external media sites, such as newspapers and YouTube videos, can be integrated as posts rather than as links. I plan to invite suggestions for examples as a way of experimenting with curated crowdsourcing. )
Biochar Changes
Biochar is as simple as it gets. It's just a single pure carbon atom -- charcoal. It's everywhere, the essential building block of life. It is so simple, yet its uses, as we will see in the story, are complex and global.

The Small Town That Saved its Grocery Store
This small town saved its grocery store. Rather than keep complaining, the community got together, collaborated, and actually DID something about it. And it served as a model for other small rural towns. This demonstrates how a story from an external sou rce can become a post.

Pine Plains Videos
A playlist of videos about Pine Plains is imported intact from YouTube as if it were a post. Ultimately I would like to display links to external sources with introductory text and an image rather than a text link on a menu..
