Subject: RE: BS: What've you done to improve the world?
canvassed for Greenpeace
written many essays and articles to promote understanding of paganism to counteract right wing and fundamentalist prejudice
promoted recycling, organic gardening and other modes of environmentally-friendly living through writing and networking
taught many students about writing and creativity and had an impact on some of them (so they tell me)
planted bulbs in the empty lot near me to persuade people to stop throwing trash in the area
Cut down invasive plants in Franklin Park to help the trees survive being strangled by non-native parasites
various random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty
