Take Action

Be Fearless — We're Here to Change the World!
Look below for ideas and ways to participate in your everyday lives.

Personal

Remember: no matter how small the action, there are 7 Billion of us — we're stronger and more powerful together!  All we have to do is reach critical mass — YOU might be the tipping point!

We all know this list, but here are a few reminders:

* Get creative with water and power conservation in your home and work place.

* Eliminate plastic from your life as much as possible.
* Create native, naturalized landscaping to eliminate watering, trimming and mowing.

* Grow some of your own vegetables. Eat organic, buy local. Support your
farmers market. Cut back on meat consumption.
* Keep fabric shopping bags in your car, and use them — not just for groceries, but for everything.

* Use environmentally friendly cleaning supplies.

* Use organic, dye-free, artificial fragrance-free, preservative-free skin and hair care products.

* Eliminate dry cleaning.

* Reduce consumption.
* Eliminate energy loss in your home. Replace door & window seals, insulate. Old appliances and equipment are often very energy inefficient.

* Many solar companies are now offering a lease program for solar panels with your combined power / equipment payment equal to your pre-solar payments. 
Call for a free estimate.

* Forgive and let go.
* Eat healthy, exercise, spend more time with friends and family. Healthy bodies, healthy relationships — the foundation for a better life.

* Stay informed, get connected. Knowledge, wisdom and community — all important.

* Find work that makes you happy.

* The last few suggestions may seem like they don't apply, but seriously, we can't give what we don't have.

Local

Making a difference in our own communities is one of the most rewarding ways to contribute. 
Here are a few ideas:

* Volunteer time at a local organization, school, community center or hospital.
 Or support them financially—every dollar counts.
Check your local yellow pages or your online Chamber of Commerce Directory for listings of worthy projects.

*  Start your own community project. Grassroots is where it's at!
 It's easier than you think. Think small and simple. Do what brings you joy! 
If it seems hard, remember, you're the boss.
Change it so that you'll love it, and keep changing it so it stays fresh and exciting. 

Big Picture

As individuals we may not be able to change the world, but we can certainly contribute to the swelling tide of good work being done on the planet. 
Below are organizations we've found that are doing good work on a large scale.
Consider donating your time or money to support the changes you want to see in the world.
This is a constantly growing list.
