Thank you!

Hello.
Once again, I must apologize for the lack of posts. Thanks so much to everyone who responded to my last post and provided some feedback. It's been very helpful, and I was glad to received it. It was generally very positive, which was a relief!
I'm also sorry about that last post; re-reading it, I guess I came down kind of heavy. I want to try and do that only when necessary from now on. So I apologize if that post came off as angry or accusing or anything like that. Especially for the ANONYMOUS person who left the comment that initiated it. Thank you very much for your opinion, and everyone who added their two cents.
It's getting down to the wire at school now, but I'm gonna try to keep up with the blog. I'm sorry though if I end up posting tons of youtube videos, and other quick things.
One of the main reasons I wanted to start this blog, as well, was to try and empower people. The fact is that one of the main drivers of environmental and social damage is our society. We know that, to a large extent. It stems from Consumerism, Commercialism, and Capitalism. This means our institutions, like the World Bank, the Corporations, the Government, as well as our lifestyles. It's not something that we should be putting to the backs of our minds, but something we need to keep in mind as we make decisions in our day to day lives. I personally believe in slowly changing the ways of our society today (though not TOO slowly). One of the most important changes which has been taking place is people taking responsibility with their dollar, and buying fair-trade and/or eco-friendly products. These people are labelled by market researchers as "Conscience Consumers" because of their ethical habits.
This is a great thing that should be more widespread and pervading in our lives. The fact is that solutions start at home, and everyone should stop feeling so powerless. Especially these days, with the economy and so forth. The thing is that economic, social and environmental solutions go hand in hand; potentially meaning profits for all, in all areas. A win-win.
But seriously, we have the ability to better ourselves and our planet, for our own sake as well as for the sake of Life On Earth. We have the power to seek the truth, and live the lives we want to live, AND solve these problems. We don't need to be afraid, and we don't need to be powerless. In the words of Neil Young: "You can make a difference, if you really try!"
If you want to start off, you can check The Environmental Blog. It's got lots of great green ideas, for now, and for the future, when you've got a house and a job and kids and whatnot. Also, tomorrow night is EARTH HOUR! From 8:30 to 9:30 pm, dedicated people around the world are turning off their lights and their appliances. I'm super excited; back in the summer of 2003 we had that gigantic blackout, which at the time gave me the idea for an annual Blackout Day. This is close enough, so YEAH! LET"S HAVE A BLACKOUT!

Thank you so much to those who like Peaceful Seeds; and anyone who has any ideas or criticism - please share it so that I can try to improve.

Peace be with you all!
