10 small ways

to make the world a better place is a blog written by Dustin Wax about random kindness. It's what makes the world go round isn't it?

Dreamer.me is a search engine. "The way it works is that you search the internet like normal and money from your clicks go to charity. It's very easy to use, and it returns google search results. It doesn't cost any money and hardly any time. I hope you will use it.", quoted from an article written by the creator of Dreamer.me on a site called "How to make the world a better place".  Thought it was cool, so I'm sharing it with you.

A wonderful blog

This blog truly is Down to Earth .  She has just announced that she will not be able to blog every day because she will be working on a book, but her archives are just full of all kinds of good things.  I wish her well!

Honesty

Just watched the show 30 days at an ecovillage in Missouri called The Dancing Rabbit  .  The folks who live and work this ecovillage are incredible and I commend them for showing us the way and living in a way that they can be proud.  As for myself, I came to the conclusion that is probably not the lifestyle for me and I was upset about that, disappointed in myself, but it is what it is.  That is not to say that there are no options for me.  There are plenty.  Here are just a few.

1.  use the funny light bulbs
2.  conserve water (shorter showers, don't flush everytime, use less water to wash dishes)
3.  home garden
4.  eat less meat
5.  drive less
6.  less trash
7.  turn things off when not using them.


Hopefully as I learn, this list will get much longer :)
