Vera in Zambia: The Sustainable Good Life

http://verainzambia.blogspot.com/2008/07/sustainable-good-life.html

Wednesday, July 16, 2008. The Sustainable Good Life. 8220;If you have an expensive mortgage and a family to support then theoretical objections to the environmentally damaging commute to work or of the triviality of your job can quietly evaporate. Desperate people from all levels of wealth are hungry for better alternatives.”. How many people want more vacation time? How many people feel they lack material comforts compared to their neighbors? The point is that many people in the rich world are facing si...

g {squared} glynnis in ghana: July 17th Blog Post

http://g-in-ghana.blogspot.com/2008/07/july-17th-blog-post.html

Monday, July 21, 2008. July 17th Blog Post. Well looking at the calendar today I realized to my surprise that I have only 31 days left here in Salaga. Almost exactly one month - though I think I will be much closer to that by the time I am able to post this! Next week I am heading out to the Makango area, part of our District, to spend some time in a village. I am planning on spending five days with a local family to experience the realities of rural life in Ghana - yes, mud hut and all! I am all ears!

Saving trees one blog at a time: Calculus and drama can go together

http://melbean.blogspot.com/2009/01/calculus-and-drama-can-go-together.html

Saving trees one blog at a time. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Calculus and drama can go together. I am about to embark on my second semester of night school. Last semester, I was thankfully taking calculus 1 at a cegep just down the road from my house. I am not so fortunate this semester, and I have to use about 3 hours of my day in travel. The good news is that the end is in sight. One more semester, then three more classes in the summer (fingers crossed) and voila, degree in hand. View my complete profile.

Saving trees one blog at a time: May 2009

http://melbean.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Saving trees one blog at a time. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. Off to the Disney place. I'm leaving for Disney World in 2 days; a gift from the in-laws for the whole fam-damily. Initially, I was horrified. An an environmentalist, activist, and general resister of all things commercial, I wondered why in g*d's name, with only one child (and a baby) in the family at the moment, would they bring seven adults to a children's theme park for a week of shiny, hyped, fancy neuroticism? I'll try to keep that in mind.

Saving trees one blog at a time. Monday, August 11, 2008. Saint Andrew's by the sea. I am in New Brunswick right now for a marine mammals course. What better way to kill 3 credits! Whale watching, seal observing, sea-bird gazing. woo hoo! I'll be in Saint Andrews for 2 weeks, then my boyfriend will be meeting up with me so we can venture on our first vacation together :-). I detect a little dreary-eyed short attention spans in my near future. Monday, August 11, 2008. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saving trees one blog at a time. Monday, May 19, 2008. I stayed with Che. This time last year, I was in Accra, Ghana. It took me a long time to settle into where I would eventually stay for the entire summer. It was a very stressful time, and I think I have been riding on the same emotional stress wave ever since then, and probably even befo. Monday, May 19, 2008. Thursday, May 8, 2008. Safia, el gato.

Sylvie in Malawi: Independence Day

http://sylvieinmalawi.blogspot.com/2008/07/independence-day.html

Monday, July 21, 2008. July 6th, 2008: Malawi turned 44 years old! The president had the major celebrations in Mzuzu, the main city of the Northern Region, to symbolize his efforts to develop the North. Since Mzuzu is close to me, I decided to attempt attending the ceremonies, with a couple of other EWB JFs as well. Here is the story of that day, with some personal commentary at the end. Police were shooting criminals in reenactments of how to call emergency numbers, and for the army, stuff just started ...
