Links Galore

Below are a few links that I have enjoyed, but moved from my index page to accommodate new links I've discovered.
   

Links Supporting Mindful Living

Politically Oriented Links

Mindfully.org - This site has an abundance of resources about environmental issues and other things to help one live mindfully in our busy world. There's probably more information here than one can absorb.
GeneWatch - This site from the UK offers a lot of technical information and provides lots of insight into what's going within the biotech industry and Europe to organize awareness and resistance among the populace.
Seeds of Simplicity - This website has been useful for me in my new learning about simple/deliberate living. 
Simple Living Calendar - If for nothing else this page, this site brings me pleasure because I can see how much other people are thinking similarly to me and doing more about it.
Vegan.Com - This site appears to be done by Erik Marcus who's book helped me transition toward eating vegan.
Pangea - These folks made me very happy by providing me access to (selling me) a pair of shoes I could wear to work that were made from non-leather materials and manufactured without abusing small children or women. The shoes weren't cheap and carried the burden of being shipped several times (first, from the factory in Portugal, then to me in Berkeley), but I like the shoes and I'm reasonably confident no horrific acts were perpetrated in their production. I also found vegan vitamins through them.
Green Market Place - Another place I find refuge when I'm looking for mindfully manufactured/produced goods. These folks aren't as thoughtful as the ones at Pangea, but if you're selective you can do alright there.

GrannyD - If you believe that our political system has been corrupted by the influences of money and those who want to make lots of money, this is the site for you. Or if you're like me and have trouble finding heroes in this world, check this one out.
Ecology Center Events - Lots of great green events in the Berkeley area. Check out the Ecology Center homepage too.
Niebyl-Proctor Library - These folks sponsored the talk by Angela Davis that I appreciated recently.
SpeakOut - Need some help communicating with elected officals about various progressive issues? Then go here.
True Food Now - a good roundup of basic GMO information and latest news. I believe this site is maintained by Greenpeace.
Organic Consumers Association - another good site for basic information on organic food issues. Provides good info on upcoming protests, actions and other critical events.
Ruckus Society - training humans in non-violent direct action to resist greed, corporate tyranny and social injustice.
Action Agenda for Electoral Reform - check out their butterfly ballot style index page and notice some of the content while you're there.
