Organizations that inspire us:

Voice Yourself - Many genuinely care about the planet and each other but feel powerless to make change. There’s a design flaw in the system that keeps us fighting against each other. At VoiceYourself we start from a place of shared interest. VoiceYourself is a communication hub that promotes simple organic living through conscious consumerism, the sharing of ideas and information, as well as encouraging peaceful civil disobedience. Founded by Woody Harrelson and Laura Louie.
