We have known for years that perfluorochemicals are toxic. Yet chemical companies continue to promote their usage in products that may surprise you: carpets, clothes, fast-food wrappers, and on the inner lining of pet food bags. Trade names include Teflon®, Scotchgard™, Stainmaster®, and Gore-Tex®. The California legislature has sent Assembly Bill 2771 (which cleared the floor with a vote of 42 to 0) to Gov. Newsom for signature. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has more information on the bill and a petition to sign in support. A note directly to Newsom's office would work as well!

In Tucson, we are organizing to plant 2 million trees to cool our urban island, clean the air, and sequester carbon. We estimate that it will take 15 years to accomplish the task. It is amazing, then, to consider that land "developers" in the Amazon River basin, cheered on by Brazil's president, have cut down nearly 500 million trees in one year. I am hopeful that this petition by Avaaz can influence the Brazilian legislature.

Nearly half a BILLION trees torn down and gone forever! Now Amazon indigenous leaders are calling for the world to help them defend their forest home. Let's answer their call! ...

After 17 years of promoting, teaching, and engaging in mindful activism, in February of 2018 we closed the Green Sangha organization. But ripples of mindful activism continue to spread. Here are a few of the ways that we are carrying forward:

Linda Currie and other East Bay members are working with Transition Berkeley to “envision and create a future with more locally produced food and other necessities, cleaner forms of transportation and energy. Along the way, we’ll build a more equitable and vibrant local economy and re-learn practical skills our grandparents once had.”

Stuart Moody has joined with Tucson Clean & Beautiful on a 13-year, multi-organization campaign to increase the city’s shade canopy from 8% to 20%.

Sukey Parmelee leads Watershed Stewardship at Green Gulch Zen Center and Farm on the second Sunday of the month.

Beth Terry, in her blog, My Plastic Free Life, gives practical advice, connects you to letter-writing campaigns and other action ideas, couching it all in a simple philosophy of conservation, care, and creativity.

Andy Peri, a founding member of Green Sangha, is traveling in China with his partner Xiao to teach workshops on sustainability and mindful community.

Jonathan Gustin, Green Sangha founder, now leads the Purpose Guides Institute, helping people connect with their deepest dreams and their highest calling.
