i know that i have been largely silent over the past few months.  i haven't been ignoring you -- i really haven't.  i've just taken a break.

i'm not sure why i felt the need.  i was super busy, had a lot of reading, and a lot of thinking.  i took a philosophy class that made me think A LOT, and it made me realize how much more i have to learn.

so i've taken a break.  and i felt for a time that what i have worked so hard to establish here was just a big waste of time, like i hadn't really done anything.  but i feel energized again.  maybe i'm not doing a lot.  but i'm doing what i do best right now -- i'm publicizing other people's efforts at making the world a better place.  i'm forming networks and spreading the word about things i care about.  one day, i hope that passion will translate a little more concretely; i'll be able to solve problems and help people in a more tangible way.

so i am back.

i will do my best to update this blog more often, to comment on yours, and together -- i firmly believe -- we can make this world a better place.

Got plastic bags? Make a cute kite! Also check out these cute little guys made from trash. More sea creatures, and these are crocheted!

Or if you're REALLY adventurous, make a plastic bag bra??? Yeah, I think I just said that...

Okay, realistically... how about knitting your own bag?

Big thanks to NoPlasticBags for these links!

Now, for something a little more serious...

Our Oceans are turning to plastic... are we?

Read it and let me know what you think.

I've got to admit, the more I read about this, the more green I want to get!
