But change doesn’t have to be daunting or intimidating. If you make an effort to recycle, you’re saying “I believe in a cleaner world, and I care”. If you refuse to buy clothes from a company that uses child labour, you’re taking a stand against exploitation.
In the United States in the 1950s, a woman one day simply said “No”. She decided that she didn’t want to sit at the back of the bus anymore, and she soon realised that a great many other people didn’t want to, either.
The smallest choices we make all make a difference, and some of them can end up having a bigger effect than we could possibly have imagined.
Be the Change!
That’s why NUS has launched it's own website to encourage you to Be The Change. Here, you can upload your picture and write details of a positive change you’d like to make.
This change could be about education, the community, the environment, personal development, health and wellbeing, careers or politics – it doesn’t matter what it’s about, or how big it is.
