'There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world, I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary, and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair, and disrespect.'--Nikki Giovanni.

'Everyone needs to play a part. You can make a difference today-–and every day--by doing simple things, like carrying your own water bottle, coffee cup, and shopping bags, recycling the plastic you buy, avoiding products that contain microplastics, and volunteering for a local clean-up.'--António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations.
