Revolution by Heather Zydek


I'm so excited about this blog. I've been reading and thinking about many related issues this summer. One of the best inspirations came from The Revolution: A Field Manual for Changing Your World. I liked it so much I just ordered several copies to share with friends. Message me if you'd like to borrow one! The reviews on amazon are great and informative. I especially enjoyed the articles on Fair Trade Economics and Gang Violence. They were intelligent and empowering. I finished them really feeling like I could make a difference. So, I sent in an application to become a mentor with Big City Mountaineers in hopes of becoming a mentor to some inner city kids in my favorite mountain environments. Check it out.

Just stumbled upon this blog. I just got back from a Big City Mountaineers trip, it was awesome and totally worth doing! Also read the Revolution book, and its inspired me to get more involved in issues I care about.
