VOTE with HOPE

I always told my students that we could change the world. When I turn on the news these days, one candidate consistently reminds me that yes, we can! I am ready for change. Ready for peace. Ready for leadership that pushes America and Americans to remember that sometimes it is better to be the good guy than the tough guy.

By the way, yes, we can laugh too!

Take the Pledge! (Save the Planet and Your Wallet)

A little over two years ago I tried to sell the world on using a SIGG bottle (June 25, 2006 blog), but I think it is time again to put out my plea...Take the pledge to break the bottled water habit!

Evian is expensive, but its true cost is often forgotten--those single use bottles are an environmental nightmare! Environmentalists, water safety experts and humanitarians all agree that the bottled water industry has had a wide array of negative effects on our world. Of course, anyone who saw Reality Bites way back in 1994 knows that "Evian is naive spelled backwards!" Let's get smart about our consumerism.
