"We
choose to create a restored, vibrant and just world because we are
willing to walk alongside our heartbreak and our fear. We do this for
those who will pay the price if we fail. And we do it for those who will
carry this incalculable hardship if we waver. And for those who are
watching to see if we will choose to have more stuff or more life. We do
this not because it's lucrative or furthers our prospects. We do this
because it mobilizes and enlivens our spirit and intelligence."
Paul Hawken, 2012 Bioneers Conference
A group of concerned parents got together with a local University professor in Irvine, CA and was able to get toxic pesticides banned from their city. They were concerned about unusually high rates of cancer and allergies in children and were able to identify certain chemicals that the city was spraying the could be the cause.
This is a ground-breaking move that gives us all hope. They've put together a playbook to help other communities do the same thing.

This is a must-watch interview (transcripts included). It really got me inspired and I ask that you share it with everyone. It really can help us change things very quickly.
To your health,
