Small Changes Make a Big Difference
It's easy to get so caught up in the doom and gloom about climate change. That's why here at Be a Hummingbird we (Beverley, Ailsa and myself, Gill) decided to focus on the positive steps. Because even small steps, to try and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, are making a big difference.

The hummingbird teaches us that persistence and commitment to our cause, no matter how daunting it may seem, can inspire others to join in.
