How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
~Anne Frank
Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
~Albert Schweitzer
How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a weary world.
~William Shakespeare
There is no better time than now to change the world. As world citizens, we have access to unparralled technology, and tools for communication. We also have, more than ever, the power to do great harm to our environment.
In fact, our environment has already been harmed by the rapid progress of our societys ability to manipulate the world. Unfortunetly, we have not grown at the same pace spiritually, and we still carelessly destroy our natural habitat, as well as our safety, comfort, and quality of life within our civic centers.
It is our duty now, to use the internet and phones to call our friends and organize ways to actively restore our local environments. This website was created to inspire those who feel they do not know what they can do; to show them that we can change the place we live in now.
This is not about raising funding for some distant future were work will be done. It is about going out tommorow, and doing something to improve conditions where you live. Wether it’s as simple as collecting garbage, or as monumental as confronting lawmakers, we will have COURAGE to do what is neccessary.
By finding leaders in each community, and empowering them with the resources and tools neccessary to organize the people around them, we will begin a process of rapid results. Here in the pages of this blog, those efforts will be documented, and the many things we will all learn from them. It’s like multi level marketing, only what we are selling, we are giving, and what we expect in return is only the increased joy, comfort, and harmony brought by Actively Giving to the Environment.
