Even small things make a difference

This is a story from Serve.com: http://www.serve.com/cmtan/buddhism/Stories/difference.html
I think that this story demonstrates well how doing even small things can impact people, animals, or anything in a meaningful way. If there was one starfish on the beach, then he would have allowed that one to live. Just because there are more does not mean that It is any less meaningful. He saves as many as he can, because he can.
Another way to think of this is to imagine people instead of starfish. If you walk through a village and find many people starving, do you leave them to die? If we strive to help anyone that needs help when they need it, good will be done.
