Isn't It Disappointing?

Isn't it disappointing when someone you trust turns out to be dishonest?

A few months ago, I saw a list of companies that spent large amounts of money to defeat Prop. 37, here in California.

Too many of these companies are ones that I have trusted.

I'm disappointed.

Now, I'm informed and have changed my shopping list to eliminate the pretenders. Be empowered and choose what's best for you. In case you don't know who owns some of your favorite "organic" food brands, here's the list from Cornucopia:

Natural News has provided a handy boycott list:

Both of these are printable and you can take them with you when you shop. I know I am going to.

Another handy chart comes from Cornucopia:

Choosing environmentally sustainable technologies is a communal act of kindness...share it with all of us....your gift will be magnified and your choice made more powerful.

How about getting your water from an in-home water filter that over time is less expensive than bottled water and only has to be transported to your house one time.
I have a Nikken PiMag water system in my home; my water costs me less AND is the best water I have ever experienced as it makes me feel so alive and good. Double benefits!

I decided to put solar on my home on the central coast of CA (think fog most of the summer). And because I use relatively little electricity, it will take many years to have the system costs recouped. But I'm stoked at the idea of my PGE meter turning the other direction, and with the cost of electricity going up yearly, it may be much shorter to 'break even' than predicted.

My 2.8 Mwatt system will consist of 15 panels on a south facing roof. They will be installed by RECSolar the end of October.

Why Friends For A Green World?

Last summer, I watched Al Gore's speech - A Generational Challenge to Repower America. It changed me. It helped me to realize that doing a little was more fulfilling than thinking that a little couldn't make a difference.

It occurred to me that many people have already taken actions to begin this Repowering and transformation of America. We probably won't hear about them, unless we know them personally.

I want to hear about the people in this country who are making choices to live a sustainable lifestyle. There are a thousand ways to be a part of this revolution - tell us who you are and what your choice was today. We'll publish the list so we can all share in the education, inspiration and empowering of America.

Thanks,
