Sustainable Swaps Starter Bags

One day, while walking along a beach, a woman noticed a small girl picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.   “What are you doing?” she asked.  The child replied that she was throwing starfish back into the ocean before the tide went out so that they wouldn’t die.  “But don’t you realize there are miles of beach and thousands of starfish?  You can’t make a difference!” said the woman.
The child bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into sea.
“I made a difference for that one.” she said.

The starfish effect means that if we all make small changes to live more lightly on the planet, we can collectively make a difference.
