Food Chain

Our world economy is generally made up by you personally feeding small to medium businesses, who in turn feed big business, who in turn feed bigger corporations, who in turn feed colossal corporations. Whew. The environmental movements work in the same way, only not always with money do you belong in the chain here. In some instances your time is just as, if not more, valuable. I would like to occasionally spotlight a few of the small to medium organizations, since most are already familiar with the bigger orgs. Edit - I just want to clarify, your monetary contributions are vital to some of these operations. When they are trying to offset the harm those billion dollar colossal corporations are causing, you will be a lifeline. I do not want to diminish the value of financial support. The orgs I will be spotlighting will be a mixture in need.

"Let’s start with the bottom line: we believe in providing people with easy and affordable ways to take responsibility for their actions and go green. We don’t believe in preaching doom and gloom. It’s not our style. We do believe in taking action and in the power of small changes to make a big impact." - from the Eco-Libris website

I went to all the sites mentioned here, they were all ecologically sensible and worth going to for me. All are working towards making a positive difference in our lives.
