Our experiment with a Social Justice and Activism Thread has come to an end, MTs. A sincere thank you to all who participated. A number of us started and finished some pet projects. These projects were mainly around consumption - either buying (and hopefully even wanting) less or making new efforts to buy environmentally friendly products and/or products from companies whose politics we can support. Our efforts were supported by MTs who chimed in with ideas and resources to learn more.

Some of us expressed interest in developing a volunteer project. For me, this proved to be more difficult to pull off. I am still working on it. A friend has suggested that we do something together, and I like this approach. We will be considering a number of ideas, including my idea on how to support single moms who are stationed in Iraq. My latest google search on this narrowed the field a bit, and I'm ready to take next steps.

One of the things I love about MT is that we are a community who tends to make daily choices and just live our lives in a way I believe promotes social justice or social change in some small - and even large - ways. Carry on ladies (and gents), and please do keep us posted.
