Welcome to the Green Geezers Blog!

 

Hi friends,

So you found Green Geezers. Welcome!

"Be the change you want to see in the world" is a profound maxim that I took to heart for two reasons: 1) Talk is cheap and 2) because sometimes I'm looking for a way to help despite my physical disabilities and limited finances. Since that particular obstacle course hasn't been widely addressed by existing organizations or programs, I thought it was time to get creative.

I'm a physically disabled writer living well below the poverty line.  Attending demonstrations? Not happening. Publicizing the work of organizations, foundations, and individual environmentalists? Hell yes! I'm all in. 

Hence the Green Geezers blog. 

Who we are:

I am a horror writer, as is my husband, Blaze McRob. We post daily links and sample chapters of our books on social media. And extend that publicity to other writer friends of ours. While we donate to certain charities and causes as much as possible, we wanted to do more, but in our own way.   We have discussions and exchange ideas all the time about ways to conserve, recycle, and make a difference. We have mixed reactions about the threat of extinction of humankind: the earth would heal and replenish itself if we (humans) bit the dust, but it's tragic how many species we would be taking (and have already taken) with us.

The problem as I see it:   

It occurs to me that many problems are simply unknown, people are uneducated or follow misleading headlines, or people feel problems are insurmountable and that any contribution they make would be inconsequential. 

What I hope to do:

I'm hoping to bring to light information about the problems, who's out there trying to fix them, how they can be helped/reached/donated to, and who you might contact to pitch in. Also, I want to publish some tips on how you can make painless little changes right in your own household to make a difference. One of those tips is to share all the positive, useful information you can.

I figure if the hate and violence mongers can spread their filth all over the internet, then those of us who want a healed earth for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren can counter the negativity with positive messages and information. If we each spend some time every day getting our message out there, hopefully we will drown out the ignorant, or better yet inform them; educate them and hopefully welcome them to stand with us.

We all need to unite and fix these problems, not just for our own legacies, but for the survival of our generations to come. 

Green Geezers will help you be mindful in your daily activities, and hopefully show you how to make a difference. You can, you know, and in old-school ways as well as new.   

Again, welcome to the Green Geezers blog. Now that we're acquainted, it's time to get down to business. There's so much more to come!

Thanks for reading and caring!
