What Gives Me Hope
Knowing that people really do care.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
End factory farming, stop subsidizing the meat industry, looking for alternative energy solutions, sign the freaking Kyoto treaty, protecting more land, ecotourism, tax cuts for green living, umm...what a loaded question! The list goes on.
What/who changed my life and why
Books: The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Casteneda and 1984 by George Orwell. They made we look at the world from a new perspective at a young age. Mad Cowboy by Howard Lyman. Event: Traveling through Europe with my husband. Seeing other ways of living gives you hope and is inspiring.
