A thing to change:
Sixty percent of flowers sold in the United States come from Colombia, where nearly 100,000 workers earn poverty wages in spite of working grueling 16 to 18 hour days. Send a letter calling on Colombia’s Labor Minister to keep his promise to hold Colombian flower companies accountable for labor rights abuses.

Every day so many bad things happen in this world: people die of poverty, starvation, politics fails us and corruption damages.
But every day so many good things happen as well: breakthroughs in health, science and technology, governments committing to change and people having fabulous new ideas on how to see good occur.
What if we could take just one action a day, to fight the bad and/or help the good?
This blog aims to make us aware of a bad thing and a good thing that happens everyday. And, in addition, provide an avenue to do something in response. Every day a small action, to change things, to react and make a difference.
I'm traveling back to Australia for a few weeks and won't be able to post normally, I've queued somethings though and hope to be writing again soon.
