July 26/08: We are
really excited to find a group that represents our 'journey' for many
years now.
GET,
Green Enterprise Toronto. Green Enterprise Toronto is a local network
of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies). To find out
more about the principles and benefits of a local living economy visit
the
BALLE
web site.
This growing movement is part of a philosophy that to avoid immanent
global destruction, democracy and human aspirations operate
from
the ground up,
community,
rather than from the top down,
hierarchy,
as has been the disastrous case for the last 5000 years with very few
exceptions. I have just finished reading
"The
Great Turning, From Empire to Earth Community" by
David C. Korten; a perspective that is positive, doable by everyone now
and infuriatingly irrefutable!! I can't recommend this book highly
enough. To order a copy go to our bookstore and and the Amazon links
will take you to it - and yes I do make a few sustainable dollars. ;-)
Check out some of our other books as well.
June 21/08: A glorious Summer Solstice and celebrated
National Aboriginal Day at my first actual
Pow
Wow
here in Toronto. The energy was powerful and spent the rest of the day
absorbing it and contemplating - a day off! lol Also the corporate
section has been updated and we are really happy to be working with the
Recycling
Council of Ontario again and for the first time are honoured
to work with
Earth Day Canada.
Apr 25/08: We are in the
process of expanding our focus to
corporate, government, business
and other organizations and the section is still under some
construction but is well underway. We will be continuing to develop it
over the next few weeks. We feel as much as each individual is
committed to change and is making their impact we would like to inspire
the larger groups to make a greater impact by promoting recognition of
acheivement and appreciative awards and gifts.
Mar
30/08: EarthHour was last night and Just because Stephen
Harper left
his lights on doesn't mean that he is our enlightend leader. That is my
editorial for today.
And
on an up note,
we are pleased to join with
StraightGoods.ca
in promoting our art through their new
YourDailyClick.ca
"featuring activist websites and great online shopping." Where a
percentage of our sales goes to keeping the news in perspective.
