Going Green
Sustainable living has certainly become a popular phrase. As individuals, we are increasingly aware of the
impact we have on the planet and our fellow humans. But is greening our own lifestyle enough? We can
EI

learn to see our relations to our environment and its people. By getting involved in our communities, by
talking to our neighbors and by supporting local groups we can green not only our own lifestyles, but our
streets, neighbourhoods, towns, cities and, ultimately, our societies. Who knows, we may even make friends
doing it.

To help green your community, you first need to be part of it. Start talking to your neighbours, find out
what's going on around you, and get involved. It sounds obvious, but busy days often don't include time for
keeping in touch with the community.

Buying locally produced items also help protect your environment. Shopping locally reduces food
transportation; it also keeps resources within the community. It's a great way to get to know your
neighbors.

Limiting car use can be a great way of reducing your individual carbon footprint, but it doesn't end there.
When we walk, cycle, or take the train or bus, we also help make it easier for others to do the same, and it
can be a great way of meeting people.

Kindness
By Edgar Albert Guest

4
One never knows
How far a word of kindness goes;

81
One never sees
How far a smile of friendship flees.
Down, through the years,
The deed forgotten reappears.

One kindly word

22
The souls of many here has stirred.
Man goes his way
And tells with every passing day,
Until life's end:
"Once unto me he played the friend."

We cannot say
:1
What lips are praising us to-day.
We cannot tell
Whose prayers ask God to guard us well?
But kindness lives
Beyond the memory of him who gives.
