Save the World Online

Easy ways to make a difference on the Interwebs:

sign up for daily reminders to click at The Hunger Site
blog about current issues from a theological position--where is God active out there in the world?where could the people of God direct their attentions?--don't forget to pray about it, to do your research, and to cite your sources for quotes and figures
write letters for Amnesty International
refuse to participate in online hate-speech and flaming--suggest gently to others that there is another way to interact in relationship
commit to giving relationally at Christmas and donate to the Advent Conspiracy
consider the food you eat and how it got to you

Save the World Locally

You, too, can change the world, one moment at a time:

volunteer your time with the Freestore/Foodbank, the Community Land Co-op, or The Drop-Inn Center--watch this space for opportunities through the Edge House
eat locally--look up farmer's markets and restaurants serving local, organic foods at Local Matters
pick up trash when you see it, don't just ignore it
buy less, reuse more
take canvas bags when you go shopping anywhere
brilliant social experiment that we should do at UC
art can change the world
