Quoting Moments

Today's info comes from Utne, my favorite mag. First, "Currently more money is being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. So in the very near future shere should be a large elderly population with impressive breasts and magnificent erections, but no recollection of what to do with them." Sally Feldman, journalist/teacher.

More important! This is the consumption season, and there is a web site that ranks corporations in five categories such as social responsibility, and healthy environment so that you don't have to do all the research. It is Alonovo.com. You can get the info and order products from them. 20% OF THE REVENUE (not just profits) GOES TO A CHARITY. They currently have 58 nonprpofits t o choose from including MoveOn and the Childrens Defense Fund. The name Alovono means nurturing change in Latin and the site is not political. The site started in August and is adding to it regularly.
