Three ways of feeling into the green…
__________________________________________________________________________
I am always looking at ways to bring attention over to the green-furthering-people on the web. Since our innovation is likely to mean our survival itself, whether we are the instigators of climate change, or happen to be living in a change that is part of a MUCH bigger picture, we are adapting to changing conditions. Using technology for everything it offers is an adaptation we can further. Not to get preachy about it, but we have great tools, and they are, so far, underutilized.
So today I’ll give you some links, and give these sites some “link love.” These are three worthy projects, all on very different scales, that I am happy to see:
Buy nothing new. This group formed a few years ago (I think it was right after 9/11), and made a “compact” to buy nothing new. The yahoo group by the same name is also worth checking out. They support each other through the challenges of living without new stuff. (Toilet paper, underwear, a few other things are acceptable purchases.)
Kim Isley created a way for people to give a gift while giving earth a gift. Excellent way to provide people with a solution to cultural habits, and keep the green growing. The trees are planted in an area in Montana (right, Kim?) which was devastated by fire.
Mary Munat has grown this business from scratch. She makes sure events are as green as possible in terms of food service and other products. Great example of an idea that rode the energy of healthy evolution and turned into a real business.
I’m always looking for more worthy sites to offer my readers. Do you know of any?
Grassy Cheers,
