Child neglect across the nation has different effects and consequences. In order to make people aware of the issue there would have to be an advocacy upon the issue. Not many people focus on whether what's happening in their community , is happening elsewhere. “Think globally , act locally” is a term used to express ones need to solve an issue , in this case an environmental issue that is recognized locally and globally.The effort of “think globally ,act locally” is to come up with an solution to your issue that will help locally but be effective around the world."Think Globally, Act Locally," also written as "Think Global, Act Local," is a very popular slogan used in environmentalist, progressive and activist circles. First used in 1969 by Friends of the Earth founder David Brower, the slogan has become a universal catchphrase for the environmentalist movement. Today, this environmentalist mantra appears on everything from bumper stickers and reusable mugs to city planning notes and government guidelines(Juniper Russo , Aug 3,2011). Think globally , act locally is an responsive solution to solving an issue that not many people are aware of . However some people may be aware of the issue but they may not be aware of resources and they may find it hard to advocate for themselves.
