The Crafty Green Poet has nominated me for a Blogging for Positive Global Change Award. The award originated at Climate of Our Future for all of the Bloggers for Positive Global Change. It“™s not limited to any specific ideologies, religions or philosophies. It puts a premium on human compassion and the desire to make the world a better place for all of us, without exception.

The participation rules are simple:

1. When you get tagged, write a post with links to up to 5 blogs that you think are trying to change the world in a positive way.
2. In your post, make sure you link back to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Leave a comment or message for the bloggers you“™re tagging, so they know they“™re now part of the meme.
4. Optional: Proudly display the “Bloggers For Positive Global Change“ award badge with a link to the post that you write up.

Now I have to pass the tag on to bloggers that I feel are making a conscious difference, and since the award is eco-oriented and this blog is dedicated to making art, not waste, I nominate my two favorite trash blogs:

everydaytrash is more than a closer look at what we throw away: Leila is tireless in her search for trash trends, trash news, trash art, trash events, and scintillating eco/enviro/green/sustainable sites.

Art for Housewives — don’t be misled by the title, the information related to women, art and the home that Cynthia presents on this inspiring site includes subversive cross stitching, radical recycled sculptural creations, and a myriad of ways that artists, especially female artists, transform trash into art.
