TIME ARTICLES

The September 21 edition of TIME Magazine (Cover: OUT OF WORK IN AMERICA) read my mind. There were some great articles about community service and individual responsibility. Here are the links:

THE RESPONSIBILITY REVOLUTION - When you shop, does your conscious come with you? Think beyond buying green products, do you consider the company that makes the products you buy? Their treatment of workers in factories in 3rd world countries? Their environmental practices? TIME Polls say most Americans do and that businesses with a "halo" around their heads are seeing profits for it.

25 RESPONSIBILITY PIONEERS (You need to keep clicking next to see the other 25 people and corporations)

'A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY' - This is an exclusive interview with the president and 1st lady about volunteerism and social responsibility. The online version is much longer then the printed version in the magazine.

NEW WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE - "If you've got at least 5 minutes, 5 dollars or 5 friends, here are some ways to do some good." This article was only okay in my opinion. There were better examples they could have mentioned, some of which I mentioned in my post a few days ago. But the concept is important.

So what are you waiting for? America needs you. Go help someone.
