Since our launch in December 2006, a number of generous people have asked us how they can help Green Seniors carry out its work in creating a new global movement of people who can change the world.
So, we have drawn up a list of three things that people can do to help this happen:
1) Spread The Word
If you have a web site of any kind, or know of someone with a web site, then we are always grateful for a link to www.greenseniors.org. Even if you can't link to us, you can always tell people about us, and tell them what Green Seniors actually means.
2) Send Us Network Details
We want to build up an exhaustive list of all the best environmental networks out there. If you know of any, especially those that are particularly welcoming to seniors, then please e-mail us using the addresses in the "ABOUT US" link.
3) Offer To Help
If you have any special skills to offer, especially in networking and journalism, then we would love your help. We need people who can find out more about environmental networks and green heroes - so we can feature them on our pages - and also write letters to the press to let more people know how important building a Green Seniors movement is. Again, please contact us if you can help.
Many thanks to all of you for helping to make this world a better place.
The Green Seniors Team
It is vital that we protect the environment, because when we don't do this then people suffer ill-health.
Pollution from pesticides & plastic chemicals can cause estrogen-mimic chemicals which are thought may be the cause of the large increase in breast, prostate & testicular cancer in recent years. In England breast cancer has risen 30% in 30 years & this is true of many industrialised countries! Benzene which is added to petrol is a proven cause of cancer & leukaemia. When we neglect the environment then people become ill.
Governments often don't like this fact being known because it would force them to take action to clean up the environment.

when women stop wearing lipstick , face paint , hair spray ... stop going to the hairdressers once a month ... stop running to the doctor twenty times a year ... when all of these are ended ... then and only then will i start to believe in all of this oral manure posted on these websites .
oh yes . no more professional sports events on television for men.

Thank you for your astute comment, Grog. Now can we get on with doing something useful? Maybe you could even help out.

This is a great site that I wrote about yesterday. Sorry to be a bore but the About Us link is broken and needs fixing. Once this is done we can tell you about sites that welcome seniors. Keep up the great work.

Hi Mark
Sorry, didn't noticed you had posted this as a comment. The "About Us" page has been updated and relinked; Typepad was playing silly beggers and lost the old page. Thanks for the notification.

Keith,
I received Edition 33 of the Green Seniors E-mail Bulletin and was saddened to read it is the "Final" such reminder you'll be sending. As you know the links have never worked for me but I have valued the reminder in and of itself because it usually prompts me to revisit the site, see what's been posted since my last visit, etc.
So will you tell us (hopefully others will add their voices so you'll see how many of us appreciate your work)here why you are ending this practice?
Happy Greening!
Don
