Throughout October, GOOD Magazine has focused on five inspiring, exciting, innovative people, projects or things each day. Obviously on October 20th, they hit 100 of them! They must have been exhausted after going through all of the service projects and organizations that exist and are currently conspiring to make this planet liveable WELL beyond 2012.
We also noticed that on last night’s The Office, Dwight announced that he volunteers at an animal shelter and THEN, on 30 Rock, Kenneth too pitches in to help animals by adopting a fleet of abandoned puppies.
All of this service talk seems to have Glenn Beck feeling a little paranod!
Well, we hope he doesn’t find out about the recent HarperOne title, The Spirit of Service: Your Daily Stimulus for Making a Difference. He’ll be TERRIFIED! The book offers 365 suggestions of the many ways you can get involved with service projects to help the environment, human rights, hunger relief, green living, troop support, elder care and more. It mentions 500+ organizations, has a companion website (http://www.spiritofservice365.com) and Facebook group to help you find your role in the service movement.
We don’t know how it happened but October really shaped up to be service month. We’re just hoping it overflows into November, December and even next year!
