We've chosen not to have any advertising on our blog - okay, except Marcia's inspiring book!! - but we do support the idea of Global Giving.
Basically, what they do is match donors with nonprofit organizations around the world.
What do you have to give?

Hi Folks:
Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. I wasn’t going to write about this, but the biggest ‘green’ news of late seems to be the class action suit filed in the US against the USGBC and their LEED certification; after reading the articles [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday has wound its way around once again, so it must be time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. Now, if you’ve been around for more than the past few decades you probably remember a time before car alarms were invented. While these alarms have gotten a lot [...]
Hi Folks:
Happy Friday! End of the week and time for the ‘Being Green‘ post. It’s going to be a short post this week, mostly because it’s too beautiful outside to invest too much time in front of a computer. So, in honour of today’s beautiful weather and in honour [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, so TGIF to ya! For this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post I wanted to reference a couple of articles I came across this week. Before I get to that, however, something more important… our son just finished school – again! His time at Royal Roads University [...]
Hi Folks: Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. I was originally going to call this post ‘Being Green – Tradeoffs’, but decided to change it. Let me explain.

Hi Folks:
Friday once again, so it’s time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. First of all, tomorrow (June 5) is the United Nations Environment Programme’s World Environment Day. I’m not sure how it differs from ‘Earth Day’, but any day that celebrates this planet we inhabit sounds good to [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. Before I get started, last week’s post included a shout out for Steve Satow and a group of dedicated people in the Victoria area who are working to develop the Alternate Solutions Resource Initiative. They’re still looking [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again… Before I get started on today’s ‘Being Green‘ post I thought I’d take a second for a little shameless self-promotion. Marcia and I write on a variety of topics, as you can see from the columns on the left side of the page. In addition [...]
Hi Folks:
T.G.I.F. !!
I received two wonderful comments from last Friday’s ‘Being Green‘ post, one from Olivia Khalili in response to my link to a post she had written, and the second from Doug Makaroff, as I had also mentioned his Living Forest Communities project, Elkington Forest. [...]
Hi Folks:
Friday once again. Having for the last two weeks lamented the swift passage of time, I’m loathe to do so again! In a previous blog post I wrote about the many differing and sometimes conflicting standards and certifications there are out there when it comes to green building [...]
