Go Green Today!

There is so much waste in our world today.  My son recently threw a plastic water bottle into the trash can instead of the recycling bin. So how did bottled water get into the house anyway?!  Obviously, I knew the answer to that question but could neither confirm nor deny if I was responsible. So I should practice what I preach and invest in some reusable water bottles among other things I could do to become more green. The best site I found to buy some wonderful reusable bottles is treehugger.com.  They have an excellent selection of reusable bottles that vary in size and color.  The WaterGeeks Kid-Friendly BPA Free Water Bottles offer several different styles also and are available on the same website.  There are different companies to choose from and many give back to other non-profit organizations. Here are some just to name a few:

Whether you choose one of these or have another favorite, everyone has a part they can play to help stop the waste.  Just stop drinking from plastic bottles one bottle at a time.

Grant Writing Is A Passion

Grant writing must be an overwhelming expression of an inner desire or goal to complete a vision of change.  My grants must spark some significant need for me that accomplish a worthwhile cause. Isn't that the outcome that is most beneficial for all involved. The overwhelming need for assistance is growing everyday. Non-profits aren't as profitable as they used to be.  Grants have become more competitive.  Reviewers are more detailed and Grant Writer's have become more lucrative by fine tuning their craft. Every Grantwriter should have a passion from which a good grant is written. Being able to draw from past experiences, interests or goals should be the primary engine to drive your thoughts toward writing a winning grant.
