My Experiences as a Social Entrepreneur in Developing Countries. ~ Tiez Kroezen
by Unreasonable Institute on Feb 3, 2012
People often ask me what made me decide to give up my consulting-career and live the uncertain life of a social entrepreneur. My answer is that it is because I am a stubborn fool. Foolish enough to try things that many people say are impossible: building a business with thousands of illiterate, unorganized farmers in Ghana, or trying to make money with Internet in Africa, which most experts say is impossible. And I am stubborn enough to continue trying, even when things are tough.249 views

Who’s Brave Enough to Try Green Eggs & Ham? ~ Erin Keeley Phillips
by Yoga Pod on Feb 2, 2012
Around my house, I often find myself trying to convince my little boy that certain foods or clothes or places or people are “just like green eggs and ham." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't -- but isn’t it funny that as adults we stop listening to these valuable childhood lessons? We often do not like "green eggs and ham yoga perspectives," even if we don’t know much about them.178 views

GMOs in Boulder Open Space: Not as Black & White as We Thought. ~ Will Toor
by elephantjournal.com on Jan 18, 2012
Based on all of this, I ended up in a middle position, where I don’t believe we should ban GMOs, but also think we need to be very careful and limited in allowing them, based on the characteristics of particular GMO crops.88 views

Do Meaningful Work, Have Passion, Develop Good Relationships & Be Happy; Yes – You can have it all!
by Anna Sheinman on Dec 30, 2011
Ever since I can remember, I have been a dreamer. I was seeking transformation without even knowing it. I used all kinds of improper tools, but somehow I got lucky and I'm still alive!

Even when life beat me and kicked me when I was down, I knew there would be a light at the end of the tunnel...477 views

Making Waves in Colorado: Sunday, November 13. ~ Joseph Chisholm
by elephantjournal.com on Nov 11, 2011
Although Colorado is far from the salt and sea, people from all over the planet have chosen to make this mountain state their home, and are aware of and want to become more informed about how the decisions we make can effect the oceans so far away. Consumption of all our natural resources including the snow that falls and waters carried in the rivers that swell in spring all lead to the ocean.153 views

“Love Marks” & My Interview with Tami Simon of Sounds True. ~ Tara DeAngelis
by elephantjournal.com on Oct 26, 2011
Do I think we are going through a flowering of human consciousness? I don’t know. The mandate is to actively work on such a great awakening, right now, with every cell of our being, give it everything we’ve got.We can’t wait for governments, individual politicians, Whole Foods, or elephant journal. We can’t wait for anybody! Whether it’s inevitable or the longest shot in the world. Let’s completely offer 100 percent of everything we have to that possibility. I believe that. I believe I would be doing that even if there was no chance.361 views

Look Who Supports Boulder’s 2B & 2C
by New Era News on Oct 24, 2011
There are many reasons why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C. I could talk about how I don't like that a corporation (a monopoly, at that) has 100% control of a basic public service. I could talk about how Xcel has raised my electricity rates by 20% over the past few years. Or I could go on about how citizens have absolutely no say in what Xcel does, where their energy comes from, and how much they charge because the Public Utilities Commission isn't elected by voters. But, instead, the most basic reason why I'm voting yes on 2B & 2C is because it's just the right thing to do for our community. And here's why.79 views
