A life of compassion can simply begin with three meals.
We have already changed our light bulbs to energy saving models. We try our best to recycle. We try to eliminate our carbon footprint by carpooling and staying away from gas guzzlers. But until we watched the movie "Food Inc", most of us didn't know that our food choices had such dire consequences to our environment. It made us sad but we didn't stop there. We took action.
This beautiful group of people dedicated a lot of time promoting Meatless Mondays in their families and among their friends. When we share a common virtuous source of motivation and actively promote it in our community, a real sense of appreciation for humanity, compassion, and love develops. We hope you will join us too.
The document discusses key concepts related to urbanizing digital societies and cloud computing. It defines different types of clouds including public, private, and personal clouds. It also discusses the types of data and applications that exist on clouds, including public, open, and proprietary data as well as applications for general public, professional, and bespoke use. The document emphasizes that urbanizing digital societies, or connecting cloud services, should involve planning and mapping out how data and applications will be organized, similar to urban planning, in order to avoid issues down the road.
The document discusses the shift of power from states to large technology companies ("WebCos") that control computing capabilities and internet transactions. It also talks about how the internet allows citizens to be entertained for free through various online services and models. Social networking online has many advantages over real-world socializing as it doesn't require physical venues and allows for quick community growth. Early virtual worlds like Second Life offered total virtuality while modern social networks focus more on hosting basic tools for group interaction.

This document discusses going meat and fish-free one day a week and provides suggestions for what to eat and cook on that day. It notes that people may feel stuck on what options they have, but having guidance from someone showing exact steps could help become unstuck. It encourages sharing what is learned with others so they too can gain skills and knowledge to cook nourishing, health-promoting food for their families without contributing to disease. Readers are invited to join a movement by teaching 3 friends a vegan dish and posting pictures to a Flickr group to spread plant-based cooking.
