I am guilty as charged. My sister saw the box of sandwich bags I bought and said, "I thought you were the environmentalist? What happened to don't-buy-items-with-small-packaging?"
Arghhh. I was torn actually while lining up to pay. But I promise to reuse the bags as much as I can!*updated : One of my latest resolutions is to stop buying products with smaller packagings. I can do it!
Sorry about the poor image quality.This was a brochure I got when I was out for a movieand I thought it was pretty useful information.Rather than telling you to boycott products etc, this is basically what's on the 'What YOU Can Do' page :
1.Don't throw this away, read it
2. Educate yourself - find out the realities of the situation. Get your facts right, diversify your sources of information
3. Be involved - participate in events, campaigns and workshops. Be proactive
4. Spread the word
5. Support the cause - donate generously towards the Palestinian cause
6. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers
Pretty simple right?All very do-able.I'm not asking you to move mountains.Personally I'm vouching for 'What YOU Can Do's' numbers 2, 5 and 6.
Also taken from their brochure:
Did you know that 5 million of the 8 million Palestinians are refugees, making them the biggest group of refugees in the world?
