I just started a TNR (trap, neuter, return) program. It's a proven method to manage feral cat numbers, humanely, avoiding euthanasia and ridding the neighborhood of problem behavior associated with breeding feral cat colonies (yowling, spraying and destroying property).
It cost me $50 bucks and some spare time, and soon I'll have a certificate and be eligible for low cost spay and neuter programs! Not to mention it's a great way to get a community involved and working together for a greater good!
There are all kinds of different programs available, from community leadership to duck egg addling. You choose the cause and they help you get certified to make a difference!!! (via HSU)

Save A Blade

First to recommend

Description

I'm one of those crazy people that occasionally stay up late watching infomercials. If a have a cocktail or two, I'll even place an order. More often or not I end up mad that I made the purchase and the useless product ends up taking up space until I finally drop it in a donation box.
BUT...yes, I said BUT...every once in a blue moon I find something truly wonderful.
Remember the old Temperpedic commercials? The ones where they promise to send a piece of the "space age" temper material? Ya, I ordered that info-pack. Best idea EVER. I now own a Temperpedic bed and I LOVE IT.
Another winner was the One Sweep. It works great on hardwood floors, especially when cleaning up cat litter. I had one too many whiskey & Cokes that night...but I ended up with more than a headache :) Yay.
This may just be the next big, wonderful purchase. Now by big I mean BIG...not size wise. The Save A Blade isn't big at all. Now, mind you, I did just buy this last night and I've only used it once. It may break the next time around, but I did renew my razor, my partners AND my roommates. Not bad for a $20 contraption.
My only peeve is that it's made in China. Not crazy about that...
BUT... if it saves me having to buy razors ALL THE TIME...even if it makes my razors last one week longer...it's worth it.
Razors are SO expensive and such a waste...but I'm SO not ready to be a hairy hippie.

The Corporation: on DVD

First to recommend

Description

Joanna from The Greater Green recommended”The Corporation” on DVD, so I went to the website and purchased it.
It cost around $32...which kind of sucked, but I felt it was for a good cause.
I watched it last night before my boyfriend came home. **NOTE: This is NOT a “foreplay” movie. We women have a million things going on in our heads at any one time. This just added to the circus in mine ; )** It was kind of slow in the beginning, but it wasn't long before I was glued to the screen. I really admired the approach. They looked at the corporate entity as a person (which it is, by law). A corporation can buy and sell land; it can sue and be sued…
What kind of person would a corporation be?? What an interesting premise! I was hooked. Guests ranged from Milton Freidman, to Noam Chomsky, and Michael Moore. Each gave his/her expert (or not so expert) opinions and really added to the content. It was quite a bit more balanced than I expected.
I do tend to be weary of documentaries because I’ve been left feeling hopeless, like…too late, too bad, the world is going to end. But I didn’t get that from this film. I did find myself in tears on more than one occasion though, but I think it was from the reality of it all hitting me square in the face. I came away from the film feeling energized.
It got me thinking…even more than I already had been. I realized that people CAN make a difference, and we need to start sooner rather than later. I have never found myself stuck in a mold created for me by corporations, but I have grown increasingly complacent. I also have not been consumed by materialism, but I do make an occasional purchase that I could definitely forgo. “The Corporation” gave me a logical, NON fanatical explanation of how a corporation works and I realized, even more so, that I need to be an educated consumer. Corporate advertizing preys on the uneducated, and I refuse to continue the cycle of greed and wastefulness!
So, off to change the world…join me :D (via The Corporation: The Film)

I did ALL my holiday shopping at this one site and received more compliments than any other year EVER!!!!
What does that say? It says that donation gifts are the new hot thing, but even better, they're wonderful, thoughtful, and SUSTAINABLE!! Yay.
They have different ways of donating. The way I chose cost me a few more dollars, but it ensured that the gift was personalized and fantastic.
I went to the gifts section and chose from 1,5000 different "causes" to donate to. It helps to know the people you're giving the gift to, because you are more able to personalize it. Then I chose a card and added a personal greeting. It was sent to the recipients house and voila!!!
The Perfect Gift.
A Priceless Gift.
There are so many to choose from! Animals, environment, children, homelessness, hunger....on and on!
And they cost from $5 - $9,999...so you can spend as much or as little as you want!
Please check out this site. You won't regret it!!!! (via Changing the Present)
