Reason
The reason I have created this site is to discuss global issues and to provide you, and my other weblog visitors, with information about the steps, big and small, that can be taken to help prevent global warming and unfair treatment. I hope that I have not scared you away. I do not mean to come across as righteous. I have not made dramatic changes in the world. I have chosen to become aware of global warming, recycling, fuel efficiency, organic fibres, sweat shops and fair trade. I have made small steps such as: recycling, buying organic foods and products and buying fair trade clothing and accessories. I do not drive a car, but my partner does. You and I do not need to be righteous, world saving hippies, in order to make a difference. If you and I can take these little steps together we can contribute to saving and changing the world. We can prevent global warming and cruel treatment in the case of slave labour. You may only be one person in a world full of over 6 billion people but you make a difference. You have an influence on others who will be affected by your views and who will admire your actions and outlook. You can make a difference. Lets change the world together!
Changing The Lives if Our Future Generations
Right now we have a very huge global warming scare going on. Thank God the documentary, staring Al Gore, "An Inconvenient Truth" came out revealed the actual effects of global warming and how climates are drastically changing and becoming warmer. We are making our habitat unlivable for future generations.
As a mother this is a very important topic for me because I want my son to have a wonderful and enjoyable life and I don't want him to have to worry about dying at a young age due to the effects of global warming. Any and every step counts. From recycling, to buying organic, to riding a bicycle or driving a fuel efficient car. I personally recycled, walk and try to buy organic as much as I possibly can. I also buy clothing made of natural fibre that grows naturally without the use of pesticides.
These my natural, Eco friendly and organic resources:

I'm Organic "Did you know it takes about a third of a pound of synthetic agricultural chemicals to grow enough cotton for one T-shirt? What impact do all of those chemicals have on our health, farm worker’s health, our soils, and our water sources that must accept the toxic runoff? Science may be slow to offer us absolute answers, but sometimes common sense and wisdom must be used. At I’m Organic, we are proud to offer you products that were created with your values at the heart of our mission. From our 100% certified organic cotton clothing line, tote bags, and lunch bags, to the soy inks our magnets and stickers are printed with, to our 100% post consumer waste recycled greeting card line, you’ll find the only sweat that was used in creating these products came from our brow to create for you the best, cleanest products available."

Shirts of Bamboo "Soft Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere.
Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment, bamboo fiber clothing is naturally anti-microbial and requires no harmful chemicals. It contains an agent, ‘bamboo kunh’, that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it. Bamboo apparel is comfortable, thermal regulating and will keep you cooler, drier, warmer and odor free.
Natural Bamboo is one of the world’s most prolific and fastest-growing plants, and is able to reach maturity in about four years, compared to the typical 25 to 70 years for commercial tree species in the U.S.
Bamboo is nature’s most sustainable resource. It is grown without pesticides or chemicals, is 100% biodegradable, and is naturally regenerative. Bamboo is actually a tropical grass with an extensive root system that sends out an average of four to six new shoots per year, naturally replenishing itself and growing to heights of 60 feet or more. Some bamboo species grow up to 4 feet per day and can be harvested every 3 to 4 years."

The Benefits of Environmentally Friendly Cars
If you are interested in saving the environment and making the world a better place you are not alone. There are many ways that you can do this, and one of the best is through the use of a car that is environmentally friendly.
Although these models are few and far between at this point, over the next few years this is set to change quite a bit. After all, for a car manufacturer to keep up in today's day and age they are going to have to offer green cars that will suit both drivers and the environment.
It is safe to say that this is a challenge that they are up to. At this point there are several environmentally friendly cars on the road; they are known as hybrids. The great thing about these cars is that even though they use some gas, they also run off of electricity. So not only does this cut back on the amount of gas that you have to use, but it also decreases emissions as well.
There are many hybrid cars that are leading the industry. Two of the most popular are the Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape. Both of these models offer great gas mileage, and have really laid the ground work for more cars like them in the near future. Although many people feel that green car performance is an area that needs to be improved upon, this is not always the case. Automakers are looking for ways to offer the same amount of performance in green cars as they do in those that run on straight gasoline. While this issue is not completely taken care of at this time, things are moving in the right direction.
Cars like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord hybrids have a lot to offer. They are environmentally friendly, but at the same time they offer the same power as other cars in its class. As you can see, environmentally friendly cars are on their way up. As the auto industry begins to progress, more and more green cars will be taking the road.
eBay is a great place to look for Hybrid/ fuel efficient automobiles.
