Everyday we get hit with bad news which seems to outweigh anything that someone somewhere is also doing good. I feel for the people who are trying to make a change in the world, one person at a time, it can be a lonely life.
Fortunately a new website has been launched called Milkshake, (getmilkshake.com) which addresses on a daily basis people and products that are Doing Good and Giving Back. They address everything from coffee companies that give back to Sam Fox who is running the Pacific Coast Trail to benefit Parkinson Disease.
For those of us who try to do a little good every day, it sometimes is disheartening, thinking you are alone out there, nobody cares but reading their posts is very inspirational and quite honestly it re-movtivated me to continue on the little changes that each of us can do to make a difference in the world.
For those who have given up, need a little inspiration, subscription is free, so treat yourself to a little no calorie Milkshake everyday.

yay. some days are just disheartening. one person comes along and says “why you do all that garden crap when you could get your veg from a store with no work?” they don’t seem to understand that I’m trying to instill a sense of where things come from to my daughter and how the things you have all take hard work to get them and how come things are just better for you f they done done in X way rather than Y way.
