Feeling Good!

It always feels good to get emails from individuals who come to us asking for our support. This has been happening a lot for the last couple of weeks and it really shows the motivation and direction of the organization. It is definitely an exciting time!

Park(ing) Day: one-day, global event where artists, activists, and citizens independently but simultaneously temporarily transform metered parking spots into “PARK(ing)” spaces: temporary public parks. http://www.parkingday.org/

No Impact Project: The No Impact Project was conceived by Colin Beavan following the success of his blog, book, and film, which chronicle his family’s year-long experiment living a zero-waste lifestyle in New York City http://noimpactproject.org/

Kids Vs. Global Warming: Alec Loorz founded Kids vs Global Warming when he was 12 years old after watching Al Gore’s movie, “an inconvenient truth.” Feeling the weight of the global situation and a sense that he could make a difference, Alec felt compelled to tell other kids about the problems we are facing. http://www.kids-vs-global-warming.com/Home.html

Plastiki: The premise of the Plastiki is to build a boat out of recycled plastic bottles and sail it across the ocean to bring attention to the incredible amount of waste that is accumulating in the worlds oceans. http://www.theplastiki.com/

Stay tuned for more ideas.
