"The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation." --Thich Nhat Hanh

Random Acts of Rebate

In June 2008 British Columbia's provincial government will mail all their Residents a $100 Climate Action Dividend, with the hope that citizens will invest the money in reducing their personal carbon usage. Polls say that most British Columbians will spend their $100 on beer or gas, but a small group of friends started pooling their Climate Action Dividends to collectively perform "Random Acts of Rebate" like installing clotheslines, distributing energy efficient light bulbs and composters, funding carshare co-op memberships and weekly organic food boxes for families in need.
