Hello December 1. [World Aids Day]

Consumerism can be defined as "a preoccupation with and an inclination toward the buying of goods that directly satisfy human wants."
Wants, not needs.
I guess the least we could do on this day and in our consumerist society, is buy goods from companies who plan on using a part of the proceeds to donate money into the Global Fund and fight AIDS. Right?
So how do you get involved? You can shop (RED)-- they have a million partners, from Starbucks to Nike to Converse to Apple... you can donate directly to the Global Fund... you can get tested and know your own status... and you can TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES.
You don't have to do it all, but you can start somewhere.

I agree. If we go on buying the things we want and not just the things we need, maybe we should make a part of it go for a good cause. This is a very nice post. I think everyone should be informed that we can help in any way we can.:)
