Last minute valentine–a chimp guardianship
Ok, it’s too late to get the certificate delivered on time, but you can print out the receipt and stick it in your valentine card–especially if you’re all last minute about these things like me. Here’s the message that the Jane Goodall Institute asked me to share with you: Chimpanzees share about 98 percent of […]

Instead of environmental effectiveness being based on the restrictive view that we should simply “use less,” we […]
Help me to remember to love things just as they are
I was sitting here trying to think of what to write. I was trying to think about how things about how we live that could be improved–things that would make us happier, things that would make the planet happier. I got to staring out the window. It snowed. Birds chirped. There was that hush over […]
