Description

What if making a difference only required ten minutes of our time every day?

Our planet is in trouble. Global warming, natural disasters, 9/11, and war abroad have left many Americans feeling uneasy about the state of our own lives and the security of the planet. But what if making a difference only required ten minutes of our time every day. How many people would try?

Illustrated by syndicated cartoonist Lloyd Dangle, The Ten Minute Activist shows how even the busiest person can make a positive change. From buying organic milk and bison to switching from free trade to fair trade; from choosing a Socially Responsible Investing retirement plan to carpooling with colleagues; The Mission Collective has compiled the most up-to-date information on energy conservation, global warming, wildlife preservation, community building, spiritual awareness, and political action to empower, inform, and inspire readers to take action—every day.

The Mission Collective is a group of five independent writers and activists who work and live in the Bay Area. Illustrator Lloyd Dangle has been writing and drawing the widely syndicated Troubletown for alternative weeklies since 1998.
