Hi Ive been kindof trying to urge everyone in the class to colaborate on some ideas, but Im maybe not too good at getting people to colaborate because no one seems to be into it;/ aw ..well ill keep trying anyway. i think it would be great if we could come up with something together and bring that to our communities. so here are some of my ideas...
*Re-usable grocery bag
*Re-usable waterbottle
Also on the TIG website, I didnt notice the area where we recieve private messages, and Ive had quite a few, and each was very interesting and brought a smile to my face just knowing how many caring people are out there- really amazing people, i felt a sudden feeling of thankfulness, and security in the knowledge of the goodness of the human spirit:)
Ok ...so one of the ideas I have is that going GREEN is often not the chosen path because people find making changes to be a hassle, and not easy to find all of the things to do in one place. So what if we created a care package, a list of items that could ultimately change a persons environmental impact?
At the supermarket you can pick up
Canada's Greenest Shopping Bag
PC GREEN ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
RECYCLED, REUSABLE,RECYCLABLE
This product is made of recycled plastic (85%) post consumer recycled plastic, using soft drink and water bottles collected from recycling facilities.
The plastic bottles that could have eventually ended up in landfill sites are put to good use. A cradle to cradle idea wink
And they are 99Cents a bag ( I have 3 smile )
LOBLAWS INC
MONTREAL H4N3L4 TORONTO M4T 2S8
CALGARY T2E7S9 CANADA
1-888-495-5111
This could be one of the first items in the campaign we create.

I was reading a high school created newspaper today and wanted to share some of the inspiring things that are happening.
Highschools are now offering a CO-OP program for senior students in areas of SOCIAL CHANGE.
As well, their are trips with cultural immersion and education on social issues.
And finally, environmentalism is becoming somewhat mainstream...
and this is the best type of mainstream action happening -
what will the new wave of social change be...
