Boiselife.org so much more than just reduce, reuse, recycle

Color of Sustainability Two local businesses redefine reuse by Mathias Morache David Gapen tears apart a typewriter as a couple of bearded boys build 'bots. The environmental buzzwords of the 1990s--reduce, reuse, recycle--aren't heard as much in this century. The new term is green, an ambiguous banner used to label everything from carbon offsets to cleaning products to garden flowers that don't suck up too much water. Does creating green art, then, mean crafting a project that is environmental… Continue

Boiselife.org learning life from service

I sit here and realize, that all people are different and yet long to be equal. Faces, speech and body shapes change like the wind. Some have laptops and others are toothless. Few flip through the pages of forms, filling out page after page looking for hope... while others can't clearly say or spell their name. We all live a life but few of us claim responsibility for our own. All want their space but few have the will-power to change. Shifting the blame while all looking to be the same. Books a… Continue

Boiselife.org A movement not a website

This has kept the site from being what it was intended to be. We are leading a movement not just a website of links. Please help us as we turn this over to you- t… Continue
