CHANGE
If things are hard
it’s temporary.
If things get easier
also temporary.

She drags you kicking and screaming
to the root of your separateness
until you are forced to expand
the conditions upon which
you allow yourself to be loved.

Notepad DIY – 99% Recycled, 100% EASY
So you discovered this because you wanted to know what Agenda Resurrected is
… or maybe you didn’t.
What you REALLY WANT must be to learn how to make cheap, easy and efficient notepads that give paper an extra life before being sent to a recycling centre.
First thing’s first: Do you have a bunch of scrap paper?
(click the pics if you need to see a description of the steps)
Dig in your recycling bin. If one side is printed on, or you see blank spaces, put them aside.
Fold sheets into fours (or however big you want your notebook to be)
Use your nails to really crease those edges.
After you have a pile of folded paper, ITS RIPPING TIME!
Rip along the fold lines, stack your sheets together, making sure they line up on the top.
Once your stack is big enough, staple the top once or twice. You can also use the string from shopping bags (since it isn’t recyclable)
I like to use interesting scraps for the cover of my notebooks.
You’re done! It’s that easy. Now share them with friends (as long as you leave out the papers with personal info on it)
Note: I thought I’d try something new by using the Gallery function.
If you find it difficult/annoying/strange to read, let me know in the comments!
~~ I’m also curious to hear what you had for breakfast.

Go online and learn more about endangered species. Research why the organism is endangered and how you can help.
#32 is very similar. I pulled up some photos of the endangered species I was drawn to.
Use this to get you started: IUCN Redlist & WWF Endangered Species Directory

Become an informed consumer. Research green claims made by companies you regularly support/buy from. Ask questions like:
Do they test on animals? What kind of energy do they use to power their factories? Is your tuna dolphin-friendly?
Then find out the answers!
Free thinkers are dangerous, especially to big companies. Once you can make informed decisions about what you want to support with the purchases you make, you will become their worst nightmare. I promise.
