Thanks4Giving 10/10/10

The internet has given us reason to give thanks in these times of corporate media throttling of diverse thought. It has given us grassroots, collective capability to stand against the distorted power of the few who are throwing our society and environment into the greyzone of confusion, doubt and fear.

We give thanks for the ability to mobilize instantly, to share common values, to open our minds, to develop opportunities to create & debate and to understand others as you would like them to understand you.

It gives us feelings of gratitude that, as individuals, we can express our thanks knowing that to our own selves we are true.

On Monday this week I went with a friend to make an "Urban Garden". She is the chief steward with LEAF (Local Enhancement & Appreciation of Forests) for this project in partnership with the TTC. This is a 10/10/10 work party event a worldwide initiative of 350.org

I can smell the fresher air already! The new Urban Forest in the heart of mid-town Toronto doing its part (per million).
