So even though I can't go to Africa to feed children, I sponsor a child to be fed. And when I go shopping, I clip those coupons and pass up "want" items so I can vote with my dollars and purchase organic and fair trade items as much as possible. I teach my little girls to recycle and I pass along my Pura Vida coffee obsession to anyone willing to listen! The little things add up! I believe in creating good wherever you can.

I also met with my local Chamber of Commerce to talk about ways we can generate more interest in the local business community supporting local causes. Points off for me-I first posted you guys as Pure Vida, but thankfully I corrected it. I love reading all the other posts of the great things people are doing.

(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/missoularak/) we won't change the world but we can help out in one little corner of it by volunteering our professional, semi-professional and ordinary skill sets to make sure people have access to the help and services they need. we also do work to help the local and surrounding communities become involved in more environmentally sound approaches to daily life. today i created good by volunteering to be the administrative assistant for a local service group: Missoula Random Acts of Kindness.

Everyday I do this helps give to the saving of endangered species. I then click on the buttons for the other tabs to feed the hungry, help educate the poor, and help fight cancer. In addition to this, when I have money (am currently unemployed), would often purchase from this site, which further helped. Your site and fair trade coffee and organic coffee are sites I purchased from in the past, and hopefully if I can get another job, will again. It may be a small thing, but I click on those tabs, & buttons, on the site, each and every day. Little things can add up and help in big ways.

Day" April 25, 2009 by setting up a Facebook page for Volunteer Connection of Boulder County. It'd be great to get a Pura Vida coffee label for volunteers - Volunteer Elixir or Volunteer Perk or Volunteer Infusion...

I feel very fortunate to enjoy all sorts of snacks, meals, and beverages that the company provides for various meetings. However, we seem to always be producing so much waste. Get 100 people in a room for a few hours, and everyone drinks at least 1 can of soda or bottle of water, probably an average of 1.5... it adds up to a lot of aluminum and plastic! Previously, it all went in the trash with the leftover food and other disposables. I Create Good by helping my company be a better corporate citizen, ecologically speaking. A team of colleagues and I siphon a good percentage of our "waste" into appropriate recycling solutions. Again, I am fortunate to work somewhere that does have vast resources, and I feel it's important to respond in a proportional way that maximizes our participation in environmentally responsible practices.
