DIRECTORY DUMP IS COMIING UP ON THE 31ST!

-

Hi Friends,

It's almost the end of the month and I've been researching my butt off, which means two things: lots of articles coming up, and lots of research links and info I've gathered about environmental and wildlife organizations and individuals. 

I was thinking recently, about how much I'd like to do, how stretched my heartstrings are, but how my purse strings are ready to snap (not to mention my Broken Old Broad body.). However, it occurred to me: I'm a writer with WIFI.  Bingo! I have oodles of followers on the one hand and dozens of people and organizations to write about on the other.

So, I started my Green Geezers blog and dug in. 

You can do the same thing, and you don't even need to start the blog. Just share:

·         Pick a bunch of causes close to your heart: endangered wildlife, ocean pollution, fossil fuel issues, forest depletion, preserves, poaching, over-development of public lands, whatever tugs at your heartstrings.

·         Use the Green Geezer Directory (or Google) and find causes and their contact info – websites, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram addresses, and friend/follow them.

·         Scroll their pages every week or better, every day and like and share the daylights out of their posts and links.

·         As you're sharing each org/person's posts, look at what they share, who their friends and followers are, and share them as well. Friend/follow them as well, if they are working for your causes. 

·         Add any new orgs/individuals you follow to your own directory and share the links with Green Geezers so we can list them in our directory too! 

Word of mouth is a more powerful resource then ever thanks to social media and blogs. If you want to help your cause, share their info. Spread the word! It's so easy. You'll even make new friends who share interest in things you believe in the most.

And while helping causes, I'll bet you find some purpose – a way to make things better locally in your community, in your country, and all over the world, despite your own difficulties.

Start with this post. Let your friends know that Green Geezers Directory has lots of links in one place to make their support efforts easier. I'm even sectioning it into categories that are alphabetized to make it easier to find causes you're interested in.

The Directory Dump will be published on the last day of each month. I hope you'll find some links to get you started on your own mission to help.

Thanks for reading Green Geezers!

Ter

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 mor...

Did You Know About Tar Sands?

-
 Tar sands are the most land wasteful, all around filthy, horrible for the environment, life-threatening form of energy in existence right now. Here's why I say that: What are tar sands? Tar sands, or oil sands, are a mixture of mostly sand, clay, water, and bitumen , which is what all the fuss – and filthy, water polluting, soil polluting, toxic process – is about. Bitumen is made of the same molecules as liquid oil and the same fossil fuel products are made from it. What is so bad about tar sands? The process of getting the bitumen out of the tar sand is complicated, filthy, dangerous, and expensive. Far more so than drilling for liquid oil, which is bad enough. The two ways of mining bitumen:               1)       Surface mining: The tar sands are collected, transported to a refinery, and the bitumen is separated from it 2)       "In-situ" mining: Bitumen is changed...

Green Geezers Environmental Link Dump

-
  Hi Friends, In this series of articles, I plan to periodically provide you with contact information for various individuals, groups, and organizations concerned with environmental and wildlife causes. These particular blogs will be ongoing and cumulative, so if you're interested, you can build a directory of your own. I do have more in-depth profiles of environmentalist individuals and organizations coming up soon, but these "Contact Dumps" will provide a slew of information all at once to be detailed later. I hope you find these blogs helpful in locating information you need to become involved in environmental causes. There's a lot riding on our involvement in these causes – including avoiding our own (human) extinction. Hopefully with this information all in one place you can decide on some organizations to donate to, or, like I do, familiarize yourself with their activities and take part in some way – either by showing up at functions, sharing their informa...
