I'd like to meet:
I was inspired to create greenPRIDE when I made one choice to live green. In October 2006, I decided I was done with being an unconscious polluter. I resolved to change the impact I was making on the planet. Within 2 weeks, I sold my gasoline powered ’98 Ford Escort and bought an ’84 MBZ 300 diesel. My first stop was to get a full tank of biodiesel at Biofuels Oasis in Berkeley, California.Since then, I moved to San Francisco and my roommates and I began indoor composting, painted our apartment with non-VOC paint and decorated our single paned windows with thermal curtains. We changed lightbulbs, bought local organic food and celebrated how cool our choices were!I believe in grassroots efforts. Start small and it can grow big! Our friends love our worms and can’t believe we have almost no garbage because we compost, recycle and buy in bulk. We reuse what we have and we think about what we buy. A wonderful consciousness sailed into our lives when all three of us had the same desire: to change how we live and lower our impact on the Earth. It was so easy!This is why I started greenPRIDE. To share ideas, encourage positive change and inspire the desire to live a more balanced life with yourself, your family, your community and your planet. Be a part of this consciousness flow and spirit of the Green Movement. Open yourself up and celebrate!I'd like to meet people who are interested in spreading the word about the Green Movement and who are taking active steps in their daily lives to be "green". Together we can make awesome changes grassroots style. Then of course, there are some celebrities, too: Van Jones, co-founder of Ella Baker Center, Julia Butterfly Hill, founder of Circle of Life, Sakyong Mipham, Mrs. Meyers, Leonard Peltier, Wangari Maathai, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Dalai Lama, Deva Premal, Krishna Das, Amy Goodman, Pemba Sherpa, Bono, David Suzuki, Bonnie Raitt, Laird Hamilton, Kelly Slater, Cindy Sheehan, Yvon Chouinard-owner of Patagonia just to name a few so far.
