<p>Such a great email. I'd like to add one thing while I have
access to the Internet. While it's a good thing to do what we can
individually in our day-to-day lives it's not what really makes a
difference - it's the things that Dawn pointed out with how
corporations direct our purchases, and how they work as corporate
citizens with their products, how they treat their employees and
the environment. For example, switching from Google to "ecosia".
Every time you purchase something you are voting with your
dollars. Do you really want to vote for Google or Amazon or
Microsoft or Target? I don't. <br>
</p>
<p>Corporations would like us to take responsibility for the little
things like water conservation and recycling, but the real changes
have to come at their level of operation. <br>
</p>
<p>It all takes a little research and follow-through - planning, but
then we want a new world - one the exists for our children and
generations to come. <br>
</p>
<p>I miss all of you and feel incredibly isolated this week with the
problems with the phones and broadband. Thanks for being there
and for caring for each other and the planet. Annie<br>

<div class="">However, we—the Green Sanctuary committee

“cherishing the universe and its resources” this week, and
especially, considering your own impacts on our Mother. If
Orders of Service were printed up each Sunday morning in April
and May, these would be the Green Tips you’d read. (Thanks to
Patty Troisi for coming up with them!) </div>
