be the change i wish to see in the world

As far as the recycling goes. I’ve noticed a few other recyclables that are making their way to the recyling bin. Of course it probably helps that I buy the bags and take the recycling out so she has to make next to no effort. And I have to give her props too—she’s excellent at finding ways to reuse items.

Now to start rubbing off on people at work. I shudder when I think of the amount of styrofoam cups they go through there. At least I managed to let them allow me to take all the company’s outdated cell phones back to the provider (which will reuse and recycle the parts) instead of “throwing them away” as one coworker suggested.

My first official volunteering day at the museum is a week from this Saturday.

So my roomie forwarded this to me today in reference to one of the topics we touched on during our convo last night. On one hand it’s good to see that there are other people who are bothered by the injustices in the world. At the same time it’s disheartening to realize how much still needs to be changed and not knowing where to begin.

I finally submitted an application to the local nature museum to volunteer on Saturdays twice a month as an education volunteer. I’m fairly excited about it—the position combines working with youth and sharing a message of nature/conservation in a fun way. Plus, it would get me out of the house fairly early two Saturdays a month.
