Change the World Tuesday 1.0

labels:
Billy and I are always finding new organizations and ideas that I feel everyone should know about.  He is always saying, "You should blog about this one!"  I never know which ones to choose, so you just get a spattering here and there of some cool opportunities.  I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks now and decided to just feature one organization/idea/opportunity a week.  As of right now, this is only for me to share with you some awesome ways for you to help change the world, one step at a time.


This week's feature:
They sell mugs (and t-shirts) with cute hand-drawn pictures on them like:
&

Sure, you could have these made anywhere, but these mugs are not just any mugs.
Buying one mug can help change the world.
The profits of just one mug is enough to give a person clean water for a lifetime! It’s not that much and the impact you can make is crazy good. (from the website)
 I wish that I had done this in time for Mother's day, but no worries!  This makes a great gift or even purchase for yourself.  Whether you drink coffee or tea or water or Diet Dr. Pepper, this is a great idea.  Can you imagine that just one of these can effectively change one person's entire life!?
It's crazy.
It's amazing.

Even if you just can't purchase them, spread the word.  Chances are, somebody you know will catch on.
Don't you want to be a part of this?

PS - I don't mean to take away from Lauren's meme (To love their husbands Tuesdays).  It's awesome. Check her's out here.
PPS - I am open to any of your ideas.  Email me with any organizations you would like me to share, and I will definitely check them out.

    Oh my! I visited Noah's mugs and HE IS ONLY 7! And changing the world. WOW. He is also from my old stomping grounds so-to-speak. Being from Texas, Hubby and I used to drive through Frisco all of the time going to see family. Very cool. Going to post this on FB as well. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I love this! I was thinking it would be cool to do something like this. I'm definitely going to check out the mugs. I need a new favorite. And the other day I was telling my husband that the cost of the cheapo sunglasses I had on would pay for someone to have clean drinking water for a year! That is insane to me. So we are definitely looking to change the way we spend $. When you about that it really changes your perspective on what's really worth spending money on. $5 at starbucks everyday or $5 to help a child have clean water.

    Hey Sarah Ann! I love this idea...it's fun to see how you share your heart in so many ways through your blog! Also, thanks for the kind comment. :) By the way...
    * Love your name choices for your future children...I'm with you in the wanting/praying about that stage!
    * I've been telling everyone about that mustard tip - who knew!? :)
    * I too love those Gilmores...I keep telling my husband I want to go on a 'trip to Connecticut/search for Stars Hollow' vacation!
