"Listen to the wind and hear our elders as they speak. As long as the wind blows we are all one connected under this blue bowl of the sky" Chief Plenty Horses There are millions of ways to make this world a better place but I sometimes wonder: what if I do this or that but let's say ten of my neighbours don't? OK, one hundred is more accurate unfortunately. Am I just whistling in the wind?
Well, I guess if I can help save only one child, one animal, one tree, it is worth it. I really don't care about whistling in the wind. Because younger generations will go on doing their best and when I go, my soul will be at peace.
Go, whistle, save water, recycle, go veggie, give to charity, give a smile, share your stories... Anything will do :-)
If you ask yourself if it is worth it, listen to the beautiful Change by Carrie Underwood.
Do you like red, blue, yellow, Green? Do you know the secret Fringe glyph code? Or maybe you just cannot wait for Crystal Bowersox to perform on American Idol? Whatever your favourite colour, tv serie or talent is, choose to wear your support on organic tees!
Here are some examples I like, sure you can find yours on the web. From top to bottom:
The Naked Hippie- cotton grown without chemicals, water based earth-friendly inks, inspired by a life of spirituality (top picture - Ghandi TShirt)
Cafe Press - not all the tees are made of organic cotton but quite a lot (2nd and 3rd pictures - Crystal Bowersox and Fringe Glyphs TShirts)
Northern Sun- peace and love, antiwar oriented (bottom picture - Zen Cat Box TShirt)
I love coffee and, by that, I mean real espresso, not just brownish water. So I choose the Nespresso machine for home. Oh! I just remember we also have it at work.
But the capsules are made of aluminium foil which could be recycled but only if you open the capsule and dump the grounds around your garden plants. I am way too lazy and I do not have a garden either.
That is why I feel guilty in the morning, I feel guilty again after lunch and after dinner depending on whether I have a decaffeinato or not. Yes, three times a day. Good News: By mid-May, Ethical Coffee Co. 's compatible coffee capsules will be sold in the French stores by Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA, which runs the Casino and Monoprix supermarkets.
The capsules will be biodegradable and 20 percent less than the price of Nespresso...
To celebrate, I am now going to treat myself with a decaffeinato, What Else?
I was feeling guilty because of all the flights I took the last two years. Especially last summer with the transatlantic flight from Europe to Hawai'i and back.
