"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. "
Thomas Paine

The least that can be done!

         I talk a lot about contributing and volunteering! I also know how hard it is when your trying to raise a family, work and make it in today's economic climate. There is one thing that you can do, you can change things by the way you spend your money. Like it or not,  Money powers the world. When your shopping look for companies that display the 1% for the planet sticker. That way you know these companies are dedicated to helping the planet by giving 1% of there profits to charitable organizations. If you own a business and your making a reasonable profit you should join this group. Also look for items that are endorsed by the Rainforest Action Network. That way you know that product was sustainably harvested and  the workers are fairly treated. I must admit the products are a little more expensive but I also find them better quality. The coffee I buy goes on sale from time to time and that's when I tend to stock up on it. The more you support these groups and companies through your buying decisions the more companies will join and the better life will be for the planet and the future of our children.
