"The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to love, mad to talk, mad to be saved; the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." - Jack Kerouac
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all the Gaia.com members who have chosen to relocate to Care2 since the Gaia community site announced it is shutting down.
I believe you will find Care2 a welcoming place, as passionate and committed to changing the world as any online.
At Care2, we take a holistic view to making a difference: We believe that to create the change we wish to see in the world, we must embrace both the "Me" and the "We". On the "Me" side, we help individuals live a more healthy, balanced and sustainable lifestyle. On the "We" side, we help individuals to take collective action, to raise our voices together to influence legislation and businesses to move in a more sustainable direction.
No matter what your contribution to making the world a better place, we welcome you and have deep appreciation for your values and commitment to doing what you can to make a difference.
