Beyond Growth: The Wealth of Community Written By: Gregory Wendt 2008-10-12 19:46:18 The premise of Bill McKibben's bookDeep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future is that the economic axiom "growth is good" is no longer true.
For $24/month members can help give a shelter
animal a second chance. With funds from this program, Bideawee rescues animals who
are scheduled to be euthanized at kill shelters and cares for them at their
own shelters (three locations in the New York area) until they are adopted
(which sometimes takes months or years).
Those interested in donating to Bideawee
but not in signing up for this program can visit their website.
All donations, big or small, enables Bideawee to continue the rescue and
rehabilitation work that it does.

Blondie Goes Green at the AlwaysOn GoingGreen Conference Written By: Daniella Reichstetter 2007-09-12 22:42:45 I’d consider myself moderately “green.” I do what I can, when I can. I recycle.

I write to you from my abysmal excuse for an office where high efficiency light bulbs illuminate my laptop screen. I genuinely thought it was a good idea the first time I heard about using the wattage output from a gym’s workout equipment in order to fuel the gym’s ongoing energy requirements. I use OB tampons.
