We're in between on our posts about sustainability--more coming up soon on food, water, and Part II of My Wish for Will. In the meantime, we've been reading a lot and enjoying wonderful stories, articles and videos on the web--there really is so much good media out there. What to choose?
This week, especially when thinking about sustainability, I love Wallet Mouth. Writing from the premise that that we are showing corporate America what we care about every time we open our wallet, Bronwyn Ximm cuts through the confusion on everything "sustainable" from diapers to charity and consumerism and if you keep meaning to do the junk mail thing like me, but haven't, here's what WalletMouth says on that.
Last week I read my favorite Happiness Project post of all-time (and that's saying alot) about shielding the the joyous people in our lives. I liked it so much I sent it to my main joyous person, my husband, and several of my joyous friends. If you haven't read it yet...I suggest you do ;).

My favorites this week are "What I've Learned" and a their great collection of fun videos, which is how we found this video, the 3-year old explaining Star Wars, to make you laugh:
What sites have you found that represent media about positive news and possibilities? We'd love to hear about them.

I really love Nicholas Kristoff's articles in NYT. I feel he sheds a positive light at a string of negative news, especially in the recent weeks. I find this story especially moving and in tune with what your blog is trying to convey:
