practice what you preach... the sequel.

I think Chris nailed it right on the head when he titled his blog “Practice What You Preach.” Social responsibility isn’t just talking about a good cause; it’s doing it yourself and then encouraging others to do the same.
A great example of someone who practices what they preach is Mayor Rocky Anderson. He and his administration set environmental goals for the city and they are accomplishing a lot behind the scenes as well as in the public eye. Just the other day I saw a story on the news about how there are 16 restaurants in Salt Lake City that have banned bottled water to support Rocky’s cause. He is being socially responsible and encouraging others to take his lead. But you don’t have to be the mayor of a city to make a change. Find a cause that you are interested in and join a group with others who share your interest, or if there isn’t a group, start your own. Chances are that you are not the only one who cares about something, especially if it has to do with making our world a better place. Who doesn’t want that, right?
