“I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness, no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that itself creates new potential.”
– Vandana Shiva Environmentalist, Scholar, and Anti-globalization Author
You made it! Today marks the final challenge of PGC 2017, and the beginning of your life as an agent for change. Your work has been a tremendous source of inspiration for all of us at Turning Green. Over the past 30 days, you have transitioned from conventional YOU to conscious YOU and through that, you have inspired your friends, families, schools and communities on this journey. YOU are a changemaker and your transformation has been extraordinary to witness.
But your quest to change the world is only just beginning. Where will you go from here? What will you take with you from this experience? For some, your next big step will be the PGC Finals. Others may work with with Turning Green as Campus Reps, Student Advisory Board members, Conscious College Road Tour hosts, or other opportunities. How will you continue to live a life of intention and what will your role be in healing our planet? These are questions to contemplate as you journey forward.
Before you get started on making even bigger waves, we want to thank you for your dedication, magnificent work, creativity, passion, and perseverance over this past month. Thank you for refusing to accept status quo, for opening yourself to the possibilities of cultivating a healthy and just planet, and for being willing to change the course.
You are our hope, and after this month, we can say with great certainty that our future is bright indeed.
With gratitude from the TG Team
