In every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations. – Iroquois proverb

This is such a powerful statement, it really makes you pause and think before you DO anything.  I really try to consider the consequence of any action, will it be positive or negative?  That being said I am only human and make small changes as I can.  For example, I tried to change our families laundry soap to a more eco-friendly brand, everyone went crazy, “it doesn’t smell like before” so fine, I changed back to what I have always used and now there is peace.  I will have to “save the planet” in a different way.  I have switched out the hand soaps in all bathrooms, the dish soap, and most of the bathroom cleaners as the old ones run out.  If each household made some small changes it would all add up at an incredible rate.
