The Bookshelf
When I started this project I had quite a few books that I had read and that had inspired me to take action. Setting up a bookshelf that others could borrow from seemed like a great idea to share these publications with others.
The shelf of books and other resources, which is actually more of a big box for practical reasons, has travelled to various events including Camp Out in 2011 and a number of Girlguiding camps. Due it's size now, borrowing the whole shelf is difficult, and it's not living up to its desired purpose.
That's why I'm proposing a different way to get the resources out there. One by one I'm going to review each resource and invite you to email me if you would like to give it a new home. The only condition is that you have to pay it forward - once your finished with it, be that in a week month or year as we all read at different speeds, you have to pass it on to somebody else. You can put it in a raffle, give it as a present, or donate it to a library, it's just got to continue its journey.
I'll post a little story about the book, a short synopsis and review, and if you want to give it a new home all you have to do is comment below and the first person to ask for it can have it.
So our first title looking for a new adoptive parent is "Change The World For A Fiver" produced by 'we are what we do'.
This little book I got nearly 10 years ago now, and has perhaps been around the longest of any of the books on this shelf. I bought it for myself when I still had pocket money and enjoyed it so much I bought a copy for my firends birthday soon after. It contains 48 little actions that we can do to change the world around us a little at a time. They range from declining plastic bags to writing a postcard to somebody who inspired you.
The 'we are what we do' collective describe themselves thusly:
We Are What We Do is not a charity. It is not an institution. It is a new kind of movement - a movement with attitude. We are not trying to raise money. We are trying to show the power of a simple shift of atttitudes and day-to-day behaviour.
It's an inspiring little book with great illustrations and even greater ideas for improving our communities. If you'd like to give it a read, just let me know.
