Just a quick note in case you hadn't heard: On Sunday this weekend, October 10 (10/10/10), people of earth are organising themselves to take on environmental actions. Check out 350.org to see what work parties have been organised in your hood, or if you have a cool idea for a work party register it there.
I think this is a wonderful wonderful thing. It totally puts into practice the idea of small changes. Show up, do something, with other people, and start to engage.
I haven't decided whether I'll join in a work party that is already set up in Toronto, or if I'll create my own (I know, last minute). One idea I had was to organise a "meet your neighbours" event where the point is to go around your neighbourhood and introduce yourselves. Something I think we rarely do here. Start the process of building a community.
Any other ideas?
