The problems facing the world can appear overwhelming. Global warming, rising energy prices, a healthcare mess, fiscal meltdown ... all seem so gigantic that it’s easy to feel like nothing you do can change anything, and even easier to do nothing. But nobody says you have to solve a problem all at once. Sometimes the solution lies in taking small bites out of it until you actually create larger-scale change. That’s what The Two Percent Solution is all about. Each of us can make a difference without totally upending life as we know it. The trick is baby steps. Let’s change our lives—and the world at large—two percent at a time. Each Monday we’ll suggest a “Two Percent” change of the week, in one or more of the following categories: finance, government and politics, the environment, better society, personal growth, and health and well-being. (Open to suggestions for other categories!)
