We can help to change our world

We can help to change our world. Here are  two websites that help right many wrongs in our world:

http://www.care2.com     they have many areas to get involved in, including: animal rights, human rights, environment, civil rights, women’s rights, education, global warming, politics, healthy living, children’s rights…the choices are (almost) endless

and another favorite advocate for change:

http://www.change.org/    where you can create a petition, get people to sign it, and read about the amazing changes that have already occurred because big companies received so many responses from their prospective clients, they actually changed their policies!

YES! YES! YES!

(don’t mind me, that’s a Tony Robbins thing I learned!)

Nifty tip- sealing a bag w/o a bag tie

Zip-top bags are great, but sometimes you buy something in bulk and you’re stuck with an unsealable bag. Home-centric blog Re-Nest shows us an easy way to give these bags an airtight seal with an old water bottle.
All you need to do is cut off the top of the bottle and take off the cap. Push the bag through the bottle neck, fold it over the edges, and twist the cap back on. Now, your bag has an air and water tight seal, and you didn’t have to waste the bag.

“Force of Nature”- new book about the greening of WalMart

This is an excerpt from a book review of “Force of Nature: The Unlikely Story of WalMart’s Green Revolution”.

“Plain and simple, WalMart’s company leaders came to understand that pollution is another just word for waste.

WalMart’s culture hates nothing as much as waste. A cleaner, greener, more efficient WalMart, the executives saw, would be able to deliver low prices to customers and profitable growth to shareholders.

Humes ticks off a series of quick wins at WalMart that are now familiar to those who have followed the company:

Smaller packages for toy trucks and laundry detergent, auxiliary power units for trucks in the company fleet, LED lighting and greener refrigerants in the company’s stores. The fact that these are oft-told tales points to a weakness of “Force of Nature”, it’s not a deeply reported book, and thus delivers few surprises and suffers from a couple of blind spots.

Because Jib Ellison is obviously the key source, others who played big roles in changing WalMart, in particular Leslie Dach, are overlooked. Dach, a former environmental lobbyist, Democratic Party operative and PR exec who is now WalMart’s executive vice president, gets a laudatory paragraph, but the story of how this quintessential outsider (a green, liberal, urban Jew) become a force to be reckoned with in Bentonville should have been told in Force of Nature.

Working closely with Scott, Dach led a broader cultural revolution at WalMart which is today is less insular, less defensive, more open and collaborative company than it used to be. Environmental Defense Fund has had two full-time people in Bentonville for years, but they barely show up in the book.”- Book review by Marc Gunther
