Week 38: Fellow Slacktivists, Unite!

Posted in click-to-donate, Clothing, Corporate social responsibility, Ovarian Cancer, Product Safety, Search-to-donate, volunteering, What is 52 Weeks, tagged , on September 21, 2010 | Comments Off

My Facebook friends already know that this past week ended grumpily for me. I was referred to as a “Slacktivist”, and while it was said tongue-in-cheek, it still ticked me off. Before I continued on in my dark mood, I figured I’d best check the definition of the term. Perhaps I was misjudging. Neither Merriam [...]

Week 34: Spontaneous Impact Weekend

Posted in Animal Conservation & Welfare, carbon footprint, click-to-donate, Clothing, Homeless, Human Rights, Random Acts of Kindness, volunteering on August 30, 2010 | 4 Comments »

Dark clouds, spitting rain and an uncomfortable chill were our companions for morning coffee on Saturday. It was pretty dispiriting. Did we really have to go outside and get things done? By the time we finished our morning ablutions and discussions on the day’s plan, the clouds had cleared a bit — in the sky, [...]

This week’s Impact Effort starts with our spring cleaning!

The way was packed. I ran interference while Nils carried. We wove our way through hundreds of others like us on this Saturday morning toting large shopping bags of goods. Our goal, the homeless shelter called “Die Gruft” (website in German only), in the former catacombs of Mariahilfer Church, is smack dab in the middle [...]

Pre-52 Weeks: Clothing Donations

Posted in Clothing, tagged , , , on December 26, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Note:  Though 52 Weeks of Impact doesn’t begin for another nine days, we decided to report in on our December 26th: After a wonderful Christmas, opening gifts, relaxing and eating beyond our stomach’s content, the last thing Nils and I wanted to do today was expend energy. We certainly didn’t want to go out in [...]
