You know, I always wonder, if most if not all the little things, individual or community things we do, really do make a difference??? [and yes, I know they do in the localised sense, as in tidying the playground or digging a well for one village, or even 10 villages, or campaigning for this or that].

|comment= I think the first point is that these actions, however small, do make a difference. The potato peelings are better composted than put in the wheelie bin where they'll contribute to landfill. One well in a community without water is better than no well. I don't think that can be argued against.
No doubt there will be people who believe that they are saving the world with their compost bin and will make no attempt to do anything else. Equally I doubt that they're the people who would have brought about real political change that might have made a difference, so surely it is better that they at least compost the vegetable peelings? Surely that might lead to greater awareness one day?
Besides - potato peelings in the compost bin means free compost next spring and free food next autumn!
