Making a Difference: The Art of Noticing and Addressing Urban Challenges

Here are a few things I’ve done that have made a difference in these areas. The first is when walking towards our city’s junior high there is a spot where the tree branches hang low and get in my face and are just a nuisance to walk and bike through. I dealt with this for years thinking this sucks but, oh well, that’s just the way things go. After switching my mentality towards the questions above I decided to go and cut the low-hanging branches down. I set the cut branches off to the side and kept going. It was something simple but it made the walk that much better. What’s more, I’ve noticed that the branches were cut even further back by someone else later in the year. This act has encouraged others to take action as well. <a href="https://medium.com/@chadwatkins/making-a-difference-the-art-of-noticing-and-addressing-urban-challenges-323730475c0b">Read More</a>
