windows

Crawl through the Window:

The doors of normalcy and conformity are dead. The time has come to give up on doors and find a window to climb through. It's a little more dangerous and may get you into some trouble, but it is a heck of a lot more fun. And the people who have changed the world have always been the risk-takers who climb through windows while the rest of the world just walks in and out of doors. 119

Crawl through the window. Inspiring thought for a daredevil such as I. Someone who doesn't enjoy rules and purposely finds ways around them. Crawl through the window... opportunities to do so (on my mind at the moment):

1. India small business/micro-enterprise team
2. Eastern University and missionyear
3. Ilsan Village and HOLT

freecycle network

As I was reading Justice in the Burbs by Will & Lisa Swanson, they list resources and organizations near the end of the book. It's a great read by the way. One of the resources listed in the freecycle network. It is a

network made up of 4,233 groups with 4,415,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people).
