I am finally doing something

create a greener world

So, I decided that a good thing to do would be have a fundraising dinner. I read about them in a magazine and I thought it was a good idea. I get tired of complaining about how no one does things to make the world better, and also not doing anything myself.

Subsequently, Sat. Sept 8th, I am hosting a fundraising dinner for myself and 7 friends to raise money for orphans in Russia and for AIDS research for children. I will split the proceeds between these two charities.

Also, I am doing an electronics recycling/collection day the same day. I have to get out and poster the neighbourhood, and hope that loads of people show up to drop off their electronics that should not go to a landfill.

I applied today to volunteer with SPEC, and have loads of shifts with the Fringe Festival in the next two weeks. I am getting out more, which is good.

I would really like to get into a job that has more to do with saving the environment, or at least volunteer more in this area. It is one subject that I am passionate about. The other is abnormal psychology, and I am thinking of going back to school to become a forensic psychologist or some similar area of research. I would love to be a professor, I think.

Focus on the green that really matters.

 

Kudos to you for organizing this event. 

It would be great if more people in the world showed concern and took action to protect the environment.  It's something that's become very important to me too, and I'm doing what I can to promote Green initatives. 

Best of luck.
