Featured Blog The Good Human
The Good Human aims to be a site that encourages people to be better humans through working to clean up the environment, being active in political issues and being more aware of one's life and surroundings. There are so many ways that we can all contribute to our existence here on Earth, and I found over time that mine was talking about environmentalism and sustainability issues with people who might only be just getting interested in "going green." I wanted The Good Human to be a place where people could learn about these types of things without being made to feel guilty or like they were not doing enough.
