Yes! Please..

http://www.yesmagazine.org/
I decided against monetizing my blog with random advertisements because during these revolutionary times I feel it is very important now more than ever to be mindful of the businesses we support. I can't have a blog about folk, farming and "FREEDOM" and use ads that support industry that is unsustainable simply for my own monetary gain. Not gonna do it! But, that being said, I would like to support businesses and missions that I believe in. I recently discovered Yes! magazine. It is a non-profit, independent and subscriber supported magazine that promotes "powerful ideas and practical action" for people wanting to make a difference in their communities and the planet. I contacted Yes! magazine and asked them if I could post an ad on my site and they gave me three different photos to choose from. Of course, I had to choose the ad featuring the grandfather of modern activisim, revolution and legendary folkie, Pete Seeger!   

In Yes'! own words...

 

"Powerful Ideas, Practical Actions

2010 yes magazine covers
Today’s world is not the one we want—climate change, financial collapse, poverty, and war leave many feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.
YES! Magazine empowers people with the vision and tools to create a healthy planet and vibrant communities. We do this by:
  • Reframing issues and outlining a path forward;
  • Giving a voice to the people who are making change;
  • Offering resources to use and pass along
YES! Magazine is printed on 100% post-consumer waste, chlorine-free paper. We reach more than 150,000 readers quarterly. More than 140,000 people visit our website each month, where we post new stories every day."

Hey, if it's Pete Seeger's favorite magazine....maybe it is time to subscribe! YES! I will!
