Fundraiser Halloween

Okay, so I said I was going to talk about farming today, I think I'm going to save that one for a later date. Here is a way EVERYONE can help their favorite cause!!! Have a Fundraiser Halloween Party!!!!! Raise money to donate to your favorite charity.

* Throw a keg party, ask for donations

* Turn your garage in a haunted house and ask for donations.

Come up with ideas tonight and raise money for your favorite cause this Halloween.

I do want to take a moment to highlight an organization that accepts donated costumes for kids. Maybe this will inspire someone to do the same in their neck of the woods.

BlewGreen.org, a local San Antonio sustainability Web site, along with Blond Creative and Roy Maas' Youth Alternatives Inc., a non-profit organization that aids abused and neglected children put into foster care, are presenting the first annual Halloween Costume Drop and Treat for Kids in Crisis.
Families can drop off old, gently used Halloween costumes at participating locations through Oct. 31 and get a coupon for 25 percent off a purchase at the Roy Maas' Youth Alternatives' Thrift Shop on 3103 West Avenue through Nov. 30.

Get ready peeps. Start thinking of holidays and the gift of giving. Starting tomorrow I will be highlighting non-profit organizations and throwing out crazy ideas in the spirit of Thanksgiving.

T.G.I.F.

I have decided to make every Friday a happy hour. A happy hour to help the environment, to help people, to help community, to help planet earth. Let's take a look at Los Angeles this evening with some pics:

Damn, I bet that is one beautiful city, but I unable to tell with all the smog.....and yes, I did not say fog, that my friends is smog. There is a great group in the city of L.A. that wants to have a killer happy hour and everyone living in that area can get involved. All you need is a bicycle.

The web is ww.la-bike.org. they have a care-free Friday and here is there care-free Friday mission statement:

Car-Free Friday encourages more people to ride a bike at least one day a month. Experience the greater Los Angeles area by bike and stay healthy, save money, reduce green house gas emissions and have fun! Get a friend who does not ride yet, to join you on the last Friday of the month to ride to work, to party, to shop, to eat, to hang, TO BIKE IT!!

Google the pics of L.A. my friends. That is not a beautiful skyline of fog like San Francisco, that is smog, nasty smog.

Smog, is part of a carbon footprint that we all create. Because we all create a carbon footprint there is an organization that recognizes our footsteps at www.carbonfund.org. What I like about this site is not only can you calculate your individual carbon footprint, but you can also calculate it from a business standpoint. Please take a moment to check them out. As usual, I have included their mission statement:

Our Mission: toward a ZeroCarbon™ world

Carbonfund.org is leading the fight against global warming, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to reduce & offset their climate impact and hasten the transition to a clean energy future. Carbonfund.org achieves its goals through:

• Climate change education
• Carbon offsets and reductions
• Public outreach

This is one website to include in your favorites my friends.

Tomorrow, get ready for some farming!!!!

Once I discovered in my early twenties that I wanted to help the world. I found more, and more wonderful organizations that are trying to make a difference. Today's featured organization is a nobel-prize winning group that wants what seem to be common sense. Unfortunately, humans are not treated with basic human rights around the world. Non-profit groups like Amnesty International are fighting for human rights.

Please take a moment to visit their website http://www.amnestyusa.org/  and read the below mission statement.

Remember helping the world comes in all forms, monetarily, spare time, writing a letter to a congressman, etc. Everyone can help a out.

Our Mission



We are people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights. Our purpose is to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied. We investigate and expose abuses, educate and mobilize the public, and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world. We received the Nobel Peace Prize for our life-saving work.


With more than 2.2 million supporters, activists and volunteers in over 150 countries, and complete independence from government, corporate or national interests, we work to protect human rights worldwide. Our vision is of a world in which every person - regardless of race, religion, gender, or ethnicity - enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards.

Founded in 1961, our organization has campaigned successfully in recent years for the International Criminal Court and a UN Torture Treaty. Through our research and action, governments have been persuaded to stop human rights violations and change their laws and practices. Death sentences have been commuted. Torturers have been brought to justice. And prisoners of conscience have been released. We ask you to join us - to take action and stop human rights abuses wherever they occur.

Every1 Can Help

This blog is created to find ways you can help the world. The world needs help, and I am a firm believer if every single person found one cause to be passionate about the world would be such a better place. My mission is to blog about non-profit organizations, green collar jobs, and anything and everything to make the world a better place.

It does not always take a monetary donation to help. There are so many other ways to help the world be a better place. Hopefully, everyone who reads will find inspiration one day to give any way they can.

If anyone would like to share an organization that they are passionate about please share. Let's make this world a loving and caring community. We are all human and need to embrace the love and compassion we can share with others.

I would like my first post to share an important organization that was my first inspiration to help others. International Campaign for Tibet. Here is their mission statement:
