i am headed to belize next saturday for a month!!! i am thrilled, to say the least. i will be volunteering in san ignacio, which is about 10 miles from the guatemalan border. i will be spending my time setting up community gardens with kids and hopefully teaching internet and computer classes. i should have access to the internet fairly often so….don’t be a stranger!
as the name of this blog says, i am a perpetual slacker. i have the best of intentions about saving the world, it’s the follow-through i lack! anyway, i found some articles with good news for once! there actually are some companies out there trying to do something good and displaying even a baby social conscience, here they are!

why, does it seem, that the us is so far behind when it comes to recycling??? i have spent the last 4 weeks in manila, and have found recycling bins in place of garbage cans nearly everywhere i go!! everyone rides public transportation and there seems to be more of a sense of a person’s impact on the planet. for being such a “‘forward” culture….it seems we are a bit behind.
welcome to my rants about the environment, social issues and the planet!
