The expression "pay it forward" by author CR Hyde, is used to describe the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others instead. It resulted in a move, a Foundation and a Movement to make change one person at a time

Make Therapeutic clowning and clown-doctoring in particular a more integral and appreciated part fo our healthcare system. We can't just fund the treatment of the body we have to treat and care for the spirit and soul as well.

I am embracing social media as I slowly gain more experience with it. I am committed to applying my growing confidence in social media to my new online initiative www.greenthecityvancouver.com in order to give back, build community, and help shape our city's story as we move towards being the greenest city in the world by 2020.

Aligning my life with my values.

Eating sustainably can often seem like a catch-22.

By supporting my local farmers' markets I hope to reduce a good portion of my CO2 emissions, reduce chemicals put into the earth, and increase the nutritional value of the foods that I eat.

I also hope to continue to support local family farms, and encourage others to do the same.

Degrowth is coming it is just a matter of when and how ready we are for it. Running for the hills isn't the solution as that takes us backwards, we have to learn how to live in these cities, in this populous environments that we have created, but without the resources that we've grown so sadly accustomed to.

For instance I am changing the way that I look at my clothes. I want stylish and comfy clothes but I am no longer going to bring dyed cotton halfway around the world to save you guys from seeing my beer-gut. I'm going to source and support locally produced, sustainable clothiers and if they don't exist I'm going to start to create a market for one.

I am also going to tele-commute more and cycle when I can. Roll on summer.

For years the Spirit of Co-operative living has slowly slipped away from the members of my housing co-op. Now, we are wining back the hearts of our members.

Engaging my coworkers in community activities across the lower mainland be they environmental or social stewardship. I want to unite my team in ways that benefit the local communities and make us feel empowered and inspired.

this change is designed to re-frame our attempts at daily connection with the people we meet and spend time with. to go from 'how's it going' to 'what went well today?' we hope that people will create deeper connections with one another.
