Have you heard the good news?

Don't let Apple hog the green!

Have you heard the good news?

When you told Apple that you wished its products came in green - they listened. Your voice turned Apple into a green IT industry leader - and we wanted to say thank you! Because not only has Apple dropped the worst toxic chemicals from its products - but the company itself is making some bold green moves!

At the beginning of October Apple stormed out of the US Chamber of Commerce - a lobby group that… Continue

mothers fight back

I would like to present you with a poem that I wrote and read to an audience celebrating mothers in Guelph. It was published by Ed VIDEO.

I am mother.

Spelled M-O-T-H-E-R

Call me mother

Not Mum

Only my child calls me "Mum"

That is my child, not my kid

I am not a goat and neither is she!

I am not a chrysanthemum

I am not a flower to be plucked out of the earth

Away from my roots

To be stared at, Isolated, talked about

Until… Continue

We are hosting our Fix Our World Festival to coincide with the G8 to help Canadians step up as Leaders and show we want Change! We have to work as a TEAM! Help by linking with us and host an event in your area.

A bloody massacre in Guinea could undermine peace across West Africa.

Dear friends,

A bloody massacre in Guinea could undermine peace across West Africa. Sign the call for targeted sanctions on the Guinean junta and let's raise a popular outcry worldwide against this crackdown:

Sign The Petition!

Last week, over 150 civilians were killed when the military opened fire on a peaceful pro-democracy rally in the West African country of Guinea. Women were raped and people were bayoneted on the streets as they tried to escape --… Continue

A TORRE DE BABEL DOS NOSSOS DIAS ESTÁ A RUIR...

O que isto mudou desde o tempo das cavernas...o caminho que antes levava 2 meses a fazer leva hoje meia hora em auto-estradas, aeroportos, TGVs e por aí fora. O que antes cada qual tinha que semear para comer, quem diz semear diz pescar e caçar, agora agarra-se num carrinho de supermercado e atira-se tudo lá para dentro, o que antes se fazia com esforço, como lavar roupa à mão, agora é a máquina que faz ...porreiro pá! Visto assim é! Mas tudo tem o seu lado B e este, da comodidade está-nos a… Continue

Misconceptions about beeing a Christian

1. We are all saints and perfect just like God...

We are human beeings...so: impossible!

2. We are all fanatics and intolerant

Some might be, but ignorance about this, as in other subjects, provides many generalizations. The same thing that happens with racism...personally, and I underline it: PERSONALLY, worshiping evil and selfishness is something that doesn`t leave much space to respect since evil is lack of respect for others...yes, yes, we… Continue

Turning Compassion into Action

This struck me as a powerful message. Bottom line, this organization is asking us all what can we do to make a difference. The caparison is made between what Father Damien did to help the lepers of Kalaupapa, Hawaii, and what we, ourselves, can do today to help alleviate AIDS, poverty and homelessness, etc. Take your compassion to action.
