Month: July 2014

Since Greenpeace launched their global campaign last week, more than 200,000 people around the world have written to Lego asking they end the deal that’s making a lot of people very, very uncomfortable. Since then, Lego has publicly responded. While they refused to end their Shell partnership, they remain committed to “leave a positive impact on society and the planet that children will inherit.”
Lego, you can’t have it both ways. You don’t get to say you’re standing up for our kids’ futures while partnering with a company planning to destroy the Arctic.
Help Lego live up to its promise by sharing this video far and wide today.
With other brands unwilling to help clean up its image, Shell will find it harder than ever distract the public from its reckless abuse of the planet. That’s why we’re asking Lego to show the world that a truly ethical company knows better than to work with Shell.
Can you imagine what it’ll look like if we pull this off? We’ll send shockwaves around the business world and scare off any other company thinking of teaming up with Shell. All because people like you and I cared enough to take a stand for the future of our planet.

On what will you focus your attention this week?

Improvement only ever occurs when a person takes action against a situation he/she cannot tolerate by working towards creating a better replacement.
This applies to your personal situation just as well as more societal situations.
To those who benefit by the inequities in the status quo, those who have a vested interest financially or perceived personal or group advantage, those desiring change are trouble makers.
How many times have your heard, “Don’t rock the boat!” with the usually unspoken admonition that if you do, some people could drown.
Well. I’m not for accidentally drowning people but a few money changer’s carts could be overturned to their detriment and everyone else’s benefit!
What are you going to do this week different from what you did last week that will improve your life and the lot of us all?
