Life tip: not only should we do “less bad” (e.g. drive a prius instead of a hummer), but we should also strive to do “more good” (e.g. plant a tree, donate to a charity, grow a garden, inspire someone, make someone laugh or feel loved)
Amazing website: Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org) – find great charities and support the greater good. I narrowed my search to 9 wonderful organizations (in no particular order):
- Amazon Conservation Team
- EcoLogic Development Fund
- The Pachamama Alliance
- Rare
- Water for People
- Trees for Life
- Grameen Foundation USA
- FINCA International
- Root Capital
And just this week I donated to the Amazon Conservation Team & The Pachamama Alliance
Please join me in being thankful for the fortunate lives we lead and giving to those who are not as blessed.
