the power of photography (and easy ways to help)
i don’t even know where to begin with this post. there is so much to say.
first, i guess that while i intellectually understood the gulf oil spill, it wasn’t until i came across these images that the boston globe recently published that the magnitude of it really hit home for me. and made me cry.
and want to help, in whatever way i can. to start, riding my bike everywhere i can. i figure the less oil i consume, the better.
and strange as it may sound, have my dogs groomed. i will send their fur (and there’s a lot of it) to help soak up oil via an organization called matter of trust. i know it sounds crazy, but it works. if you don’t have a dog, you can also get your own hair cut at a participating aveda salon that will send all hair clippings to matter of trust.
i know they are little things, but i want to help in my own small way. and all the little things add up. really. if you have any other ideas how we can help, please comment and share.
(thanks a ton to april and her wonderful blog for bringing these images and efforts to my attention. images are, of course, from the boston globe.)
