Knowing that not everyone is as creative-capable, it's always good to have option. Just because you can't paint, sew or use a hammer does not mean you can't be part of the solution around the holidays.

 

The Nagging Isn't Helping

No More Plastic Bags!

During my peaks of recycling enforcement, I can be found on the bus toting a garbage bag of recycling I have collected or lecturing my mom about her burn pile. I'll be honest with you, I tend to get a little dramatic and just a tiny bit carried away.

 

What Are Your Priorities?

My passion for the planet has always been an itch without nice long fingernails to scratch it. It would go up and down on my priority list, constantly competing with work, bills, keeping a clean home and other meaningless fragments of the day-to-day burn.

18 locations are now confirmed for Moms on the Move October 28 Provincial Day of Action.

There are 18 actions planned across the province, from Sooke to Prince George, and from Mayne Island to Invermere, with many stops in between. But some local groups are very small and they urgently need your support!

 

Big Balls Soccer – are you man enough to play?

Written by Keramc
 

We are hosting Vancouver’s only Big Balls Soccer game this Saturday, June 20th. 2:00 p.m. @ English Bay, the park across the street from the Sylvia hotel. Think of it as a flashmob pick-up soccer game played with over-sized balls, just for fun.

The stakes are low, the balls are big and everyone is invited to play. Big Balls soccer is in support of KidStart.

KidStart recruits and trains caring adults to coach vulnerable kids through the game of life.

I am really impressed by the commitment of our organizing team. They are a truly inspiring bunch of people and I am learning so much.

We are raising funds, volunteers are signing up, the site is being transformed. Somehow it is all coming together.

Change the nature of informed consent in Canada

Written by donnabarker
Change topics:
 

Although most families have been lead to believe that childhood vaccines are mandatory in Canada, they are not, and giving a child a shot requires the parents to provide the doctor or nurse with informed consent. Unfortunately, the majority of parents are saying "yes" to vaccines without actually being informed about the real risks and benefits of either the vaccine in question or the associated disease.

My goal in 2009 is to create an information website for parents that will not preach a position either for or against vaccination, as all current vaccine websites do, rather it will provide easy to understand, accurate and complete statistics so parents actually can feel like they are making the best decision for their child.

Please vote for my project "vaccine awareness - donnabarker" to help me win $1000 to get the website developed and online. Thank you!
