Just another WordPress.com site. We are creating the blog to challenge our students to make positive change. The art of momentum. April 21, 2013. Even if this means we did not change our personal habits permanently, or others’ opinions in the process, we gave it a fair shot and I actually think that is what counts. In environmental education we as teachers are supposed to teach. Status quo is no longer an option. Ms.P. Also, from the famous poet Emily Dickinson comes the poem Nature the Gentlest Mother Is.

Just another WordPress.com site. The art of outreach! April 14, 2013. For years I have belonged to the first group, the one that believe we all matter, however for the last little while I have been more and more disappointed by the lack of action from our government and I wonder if all of the positive little things we do on an individual basis aren’t reduced to nothing because the primary focus of our government is economic growth? You have really put your money where your mouth is. Tom Steyer – ht...

Just another WordPress.com site. April 1, 2012. To declare free of blame; absolve. Is this what I was doing while standing in the shower, Friday morning? Explaining to myself why I should not hold myself accountable? Let me explain. I was trying to do the math regarding an afternoon appointment down town and my dependency on the TTC, and the equation was not working out. So, I resorted to the one thing the human psyche does well, trying to find an. Did I feel better for hanging in there? For starters, I ...

Just another WordPress.com site. Looking at the BIG picture! April 17, 2011. Every action has a reaction. The things we do and the choices we make will impact people around us in one way or another.

Because of ONE! | mynorthviewchallenge
https://mynorthviewchallenge.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/because-of-one
Just another WordPress.com site. April 9, 2012. Where do we begin? My personal philosophy has always been to start with the things I CAN do. By changing my patterns, by making better choices and leading by example perhaps I can make a difference. Perhaps if we all do many small positive things, we can start to unravel our environmental problems? What do you want from me? How can I make collective action happen? Perhaps I already have? What do you have to lose? Play his speech…PLEASE! Newer post →. You ar...

Just another WordPress.com site. April 9, 2011. I have already started using dishwasher detergent that is 99% plant based, natural, something I actually have wanted to do for some time. And this week, after running out of my usual laundry detergent, I spent some time researching and purchasing some environmentally friendly alternatives. Another habit worth changing. I have done a little research this week, and found this company in Toronto called The Green Beanery (. Newer post →. April 11, 2011. I actua...

Just another WordPress.com site. The art of motivation (or slow and steady wins the race). Have you heard the story about the hare and the tortoise? The one where the moral of the story is slow and steady wins the race? Well, when I was a kid I used to think the story was garbage. There is no way that hare would ever lay down to have a nap, while in the middle of a race, a race to win, a race where the immediate pay off was the right to brag. What a dumb hare! Take the environment for instance. We ha...
