We must, indeed, be the change we want to see in the world. But when it comes to something big, like saving the rainforests, sometimes we feel too small and helpless. Caught up in a belief that "I can't make a difference" we feel frustrated and de...

Ethical Network Marketing

What would make your life better? More time to spend doing things you enjoy? Better health and energy? Relief from debts? Money for retirement or to help others you love have better lives? What dreams do you want to fulfill?

Network marketing is a way to have all that, and more. Network marketing is a way to start your own business, part-time, with a small amount of money. No direct sales, no inventory (ordering is all online) and the business is simple. You don'tContinue

ACT FROM AWARENESS, NOT FEAR

Do you need to pay attention to what chemicals are in your favorite skin care products, detergents, lotions and cosmetics? Is it worth it to pay extra for natural products? And, are natural products safer for you and better for the environment? Well, your skin ABSORBS what you put on it -- that's a fact. So maybe it makes sense to not only check those labels and STOP buying the cheaper chemically-constructed products (because the true cost isn't cheap at all!) but also check outContinue

Thanks for this Pamela,
In the UK at present there's a lot of anti-organic food and anti-complementary medicine propaganda from government agencies and establishment personalities. However, if we can get through the recession (still deep in the UK) in positive mood and convince folk of the incredible additional values and benefits of sustainable agriculture and health, then a major surge of interrest and action is ours for the taking I believe.
Regards,
Chris A.

Ya I was also working with that NGO for some times before I shifted to other location

ya that's true. The part of Assam where I was brought up is also habitat of Golden golden langur ( an endangered species). Dr. Horwitch (An American Scientist) was working on 5 kinds of Endengered APS including Golden Langur. They started educating the Villagers. Also told them not to cut trees. When they cut trees these langurs used to come down and eat their crop and they used to kill them for that. Dr. Horwitch and local NGO ( I was a part of it) used to go to villages and educate the villagers

Just a 'quick note' to say thank you for commenting on the BLog here. I've been on-line since about 1991 (or 92, have to ask my son) and have had an interesting 'time of it'). Having 'grown up' in (OR near) the woodlands in the eastern parts of N. America I relish the greenery, the seasons and fact that we develop relations with 'all the plants, animals and elementals that are with us now.

Great that you grew up 'near' Pine City as well ;-)

As for the Pluralist comment, it's in relationship to 'how we deal with and exchange' ENERGY with others. (e.g. Dualist - right-wrong(black-white), Polarist - ying-yang, (dark balancing light... )). Those are 'the basic' 3 types that work in and around the 2 - 25 fundamental laws of existence for our Universe that we can actually understand with our levels of concious understandings.

As an euro-NatAm I've never understood the 'need for' plastics (as they are an 'oil' product) but realize that 'much of' what we do is continue evolving this planet and ourselves. Many people are not aware that our DNA is evolving in generational leaps (e.g. more children showing up with the 24 codons turned on, versus the typical 20 codons) and that we are 'soon' to return to
more of the Natural Methods of understanding 'the relationships' that exist turly such that we learn to 'refocus' ourselves instead of stressing our environments, which then again stress ALL life, including ourselves. Epigenetics has been 'fun' to watch, especially after the multiBillions spent on the Genome flop, they finally 'got it', that unless something outside the cells actually turned ON the cell's ability to accept the new genetic materials, nothing happens. They had a mapping, but no trigger for 'the bullet'. Probably our good fortune, for now.

Hopefully Pamela, we're not in the TMI(too much information) situation here, but I also 'write'
from time to time.

Go with grace and may 'love and kindness' find a place in your heart today, so we can move the question-mark over to big Q (quality!!).

Kind Regrads,
Mike cH

Hi Pamela

I have limited web presence and usually just bob into my local internet cafe for a coffee and a half our or so on the web but I am going to help find some of the students who might volunteer to help.I think the student volunteers is a great idea.

Most of my time has been to source some good content for Pledging for Change to help keep things rolling along.

A plastic free life is very very difficult.. but we can all at least reduce by 70/80%. Everywhere you go they give you a plastic bag ...butchers wrap meat in it and so on. Feels like fighting a losing battle sometimes.

On of my big beefs lately is balloons...most people use them for celebrations and millions and millions are released into the air every day... killing thousands of turtles and marine life who think they are jelly fish. So I'll be adding something about all of this soon

Your a sweetheart. No I'm not really grumpy - But by golly can I tell people off when they have not done as (a) they are supposed to have done and (b) not done what they said they would. Cheerio! Allan.

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet



Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
