Problem: Help bird conservation in North America by participating for one day in the annual Christmas Bird Count.   Prior to the turn of the century, people engaged in a holiday tradition known as the Christmas "Side Hunt": They would choose sides and go afield with their guns; whoever brought in the biggest pile of feathered (and furred) quarry won.   Conservation was in its beginning stages around the turn of the 20th century, and many observers and scientists were becoming concerned about declini...

Problem: It took each one of us to create the environmental danger that we are now facing and I believe that it will take the efforts of everyone making lifestyle changes to clean it up. The solution I offer is to sing a fun song and make a pledge to "do one small thing to make a stand and live more lightly upon the land". Everyone can take individual action to help to solve environmental problems and the Live More Lightly workshop encourages them to take the first easy step. Many people feel overwhel...

The book will have list...

Emotionally and physically jailed juveniles are simply not available to learn coping skills that help them survive and thrive as community member...
