Small Actions (Like Planting One Tree) Don't Really Change Anything

🌿 Eco-anxiety loves to tell us that small actions don’t matter —that one person can’t possibly make any difference.

💚 But here’s the truth: Small actions are the ones that change everything!

🌳 When you plant one tree, it’s not just a tree in the ground.

It’s a choice.

A turning point.

A quiet rebellion against hopelessness.

💚 And that one choice ripples...

🌱 In nature:

One tree becomes shelter, stability, oxygen, shade, and connection.

Its roots weave into the soil network.

Its presence supports birds, insects, water systems, and future growth.

🌱 In your life: You start noticing what else you can do.

You naturally begin making small, meaningful changes —choosing more consciously, acting more intentionally, feeling more connected to the planet and to yourself.

💚 Because planting one tree isn’t the end..... It's the beginning.

A single action that rewires something inside you.

A reminder that you do have impact.

And once you feel that impact, you don’t stop at one tree —you keep going, step by small step, until your actions form a legacy.

🌳 So yes… one tree absolutely matters.

And so do you 💚

If you’d love to plant your first native tree with us here at My Tree Legacy, we’d be honored to grow that ripple with you at skool.com/my-tree-legacy-6852 🙏
