We had to do a t-shirt for the devastation we can’t bare to watch in the Gulf of Mexico. All proceeds from the sales of this shirt will go to groups helping the animals and marine life effected by the oil spill. Send a message to a politician or one of your other favorite people by sending them a shirt and at the same time you help.
Put it on a t-shirt of your choice HERE. Men’s, women’s and children styles.

As much as I try to evolve to being that best human possible, I still resort back to wanting controls in the world on negative things like the over populated world becoming more over populated and harming everything natural and good.

Consider donating to Susan B Komen Foundation or the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Cancer will touch everyone at some point in their lives and these two foundations do work that is beyond incredible for cancer patients of all ages. In my family there have been many of us including myself that are cancer survivors. My father is now experiencing the journey.

In this week’s JOURNAL, Bill Moyers spoke with Daniel Goleman, author of ECOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE, about how to find truly eco-friendly goods amongst the sea of products now marketed as ‘green.’
“Let me reassure you. Everything that we’ve done that’s ‘green’ is to the good. I recycle my papers and plastics, and I try to get the ‘green’ product. But once you realize, through the lens of the life cycle assessment, that every product has a thousand environmental, health, [and] social impacts, and you see that what we call ‘green’ has taken one slice and improved it, there’s still the 999 other things that we need to get better.” Daniel Goleman Read more HERE.
This was once again a great Bill Moyer’s Journal (I love this man) and what Daniel Goleman had to say was alarming, informative and he actually gave solutions that most reporting does not do. I haven’t read his new book yet, but I hope it does the same. No matter how little our present “green” effort is in fighting the big monsters, it is something and a start. Change happens generationally and of course we see some younger ones that may put us back some years, but it is never too late to try to reach people and get them to understand the impacts on a personal level so that they will give a damn and do the right thing. They have to see the personal impact for change to happen!! Sad, but true for most. It amazes me how many people I see with kids that don’t even try to be green. They don’t see the personal impact on their children. Wow!! Also know that most of these companies claiming to be green, going green or whatever, are full of crap. They will jump on any “bandwagon” that will bring them more sales. As Daniel talked about, this is one place we need to make change by telling them with our buying dollars and letters to their companies that we want them to change their ways and do the right thing.
The term “VOTE with YOUR dollars” is always relevant and this is a good place to apply this. Don’t complain, take postive action, big or small!
I have put my head in the sand in regards to national news and media reporting, for the most part of the last six months. It is one way that I deal with the stresses associated with society in its present state. I am an activist when it comes to plights on the planet, so once in a while I poke my head out and watch programs that I find informative and low or no stress. I want to help. It is part of who I am. I have recently seen reports on the new and growing masses of homeless in America. Tent cities are popping up everywhere. The “New” homeless are people like construction workers as one example. These people are also hungry. No money, means no money. There are thousands more holding on to their houses, but unable to buy food. One of my cousins could not buy food for her family last month and could not get government help even with a severely handicapped child. Government never had much money for this before and now the demand is greater and growing. Things are not comfortable for me as far as income right now, but I am so fortunate that I must donate even if it is a small amount. I encourage and ask everyone to do the same. Even if it is fifteen dollars it will add up. A lot of the hungry are children.
FeedingAmerica.org is one main source of help. There are other ways to help besides giving money. You can be an advocate for them or work in a food bank. David Arquette finds time to volunteer at a food bank. Spread the word and spread the love.
Feed the Hungry
I have decided that all profit from the sales of our “Have a Heart” T-shirt at Marvelous, through August 1, 2009, will be donated to Feeding America.org. This is in addition to my personal donation.
