Starting the week with good, because we need more of that.
News!
Government Fighs Poverty and Climate Change in Ecudaor
Ok, how sweet is this? The government of Ecuador is now paying the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian Amazon for every acre of forest they protect. Fabulous demonstration of the fact that, even in a country as pressed for resources as Ecuador, it is completely possible for government to be simultaneously pro-human, eco-conscious and creative.
It brings me little flutters of good to hear about a government thinking outside of the box, in a way that supports and honors its people and the planet. How about you?
Read the good.
Absorb the good.
Feel the good.
Carry forth.
