| Things you can do to help us! 1) Are you involved in work that resonates with the mission of our organization? Please share your stories with us - we want to start gathering information about organizations and people out there who are involved in similar work so we can unite and share with the world! We want more story-telling about people who are doing amazing things, and we know there are millions of you out there! Write to us with your story. 2) Would you be interested in becoming a contributor/writer on our blog and sharing relevant information? We would love to have you on our blogging team. Please let us know what type of stories interest you (we're not looking for a resume or writing experience for that matter) - just a passion to make a difference! Contact us! 3) Is there an organization out there that inspires you? Share the link with us - so we can start gathering information and eventually provide you all with a resource of the organizations out there doing incredible work. 4) Are you interested in media activism? We're bringing back a lot of raw footage from South America later this year - do you want to be involved in helping us put together short documentaries? Do you have any interest in helping us with the visual aspect of sharing our work with the world? 5) Do you have a project in mind that we could join forces and collaborate? We're open to forming partnerships and helping others in the work they are doing. 6) We're a baby organization and are appreciative of anyone who shares our work with their friends. Yes, we thank you in advance! 7) Follow us on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook! Just go to our "Blog" page for the links! What else can you do to help? 1) Conserve energy and increase efficiency - buy and use energy efficient devices, turn off lights and unused appliances and retrofit your house or apartment. 2) Go Carbon Neutral - Sign up for carbon offsets and eat lower on the food chain! 3) Grow food and trees, locally! - Start a community garden, plant trees, and learn about organic, biodynamic and sustainable farming. 4) Get solar - Put solar panels on your house, invest in solar energy or switch your electricity provider to a company with solar energy. 5) Buy wind - Get a wind turbine, invest in wind energy or switch your electricity provider to a company with wind power. 6) Alter your transportation - Take the bus or carpool, bike and walk, inflate your tires, get an electric or hybrid car. 7) Be tolerant and open to what others have to say. Listen, there is great wisdom that comes from just listening. 8) Keep love and peace in your heart. 9) Ask yourself what you can be doing to be of service to the world. Or, you can visit Blessed Unrest, for more suggestions. We also love the Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz: 1) Be impeccable with your word. 2) Don't take anything personally. 3) Don't make assumptions. 4) Always do your best (which changes from moment to moment!). |
