Lawyers-to-be Help Environmental Causes for Free!

- Vanessa King

Environmental Law students are beginning a very cool trend all over the United States. They are contributing free legal services to Environmental causes to gain hands on experience in their field!

At Pace University’s environmental law clinic in White Plains N.Y, for example, some second and third year students are acting as lead attorneys and have gone against such high powered lawyers as those at Exxon-Mobil! They often take cases which government agencies aren’t willing to back up and that means taking serious risks to fight for a good cause that needs help. Some students can even wind up with legal victories on their résumés before they take their bar exam!

Rather than focusing on a grade these students actually learn by making a difference! With their energy and conviction they are going head-to-head with corporations that have armies of lawyers and unlimited budgets.

Wow! If only all lawyers were so kind!

Russia Destroys Chemical Weapons Themselves!

- Vanessa King

After several years of arguing with the U.S over financial aid, Moscow has come up with its own funding to speed up the deconstruction of it’s chemical weapons aresenal. Russian industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko has submitted a proposal which states that Russia should reprocess 40 thousand tons of combat poisonous materials and also calls for an accelerated reprocessing pace of the chemical weapons.

In the past the officials had planned to finance the project with foreign funds, but Moscow never recieved the money. Now the government has approved the proposals providing 171 billion rubles for the program. Several new plants for the destruction of mustard gas, sarin, soman, and VX gas will be built with funds from this new budget.

This is an extremely important move toward the Global fight against dangerous chemical weapons which will hopefully encourage other countries to seriously consider deconstructing toxic weapons as well.

Random Acts of Goodness are Spreading!!

- Vanessa King

Every single day there are people all over the World being nice just because they FEEL like it!! These kind citizens are practicing something called “random acts of GOODNESS”! We all face countless situations every day where we can choose to be of help to others or do something that benefits the World in some way! Can you remember the last time you did something entirely voluntarily kind?? You never know when you might make someones day by just paying them a compliment or randomly sharing a smile on the street. From helping an elderly person with their groceries, to even just thanking someone for doing their job, random acts of GOODNESS can be an awesome way to encourage positivity everywhere.
Why not do something to help just because you can!! A little kindness can go a very long way. Not to mention it just feels GOOD!

Know anyone who’s committed a good act?? Let us know about it!
