<h1>#MySmallWorks: Your Small Actions Have Big Power</h1>
<p>Don&rsquo;t listen to the cynics. Your small actions can create powerful change.</p>&#13;
<p>All around us are tiny opportunities to make the world a better place. Do you take public transportation and use cloth instead of paper napkins? Let your lawn die in summer? Carry a thermos instead of single-use cups for your morning coffee? <a href="/issues/mental-health/5-ways-small-actions-have-huge-power-20180910" target="_self" title="" rel="noopener noreferrer">Research shows these things matter</a>.</p>&#13;
<p>Tell us your small works for a chance to be published in the next issue of YES! Magazine. Email your ideas to mysmallworks@yesmagazine.org. Or post them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and tag @yesmagazine and #MySmallWorks.</p>&#13;
<p>If you make the cut, we&rsquo;ll send you a watercolor of your small work hand-painted by artist Sarah Lazarovic.</p>&#13;
