What others are saying about our Tree Greetings!

I love this eco-friendly idea on so many levels. If this first "test run" card shows me that you folks are walking your talk, I will be using your site to send living memorial and celebratory greetings again and again, and I will tell all my friends and co-workers about it. I will get back to you, promise! – Cypress, CA


This is an amazing project and I am very happy to have found this "green" source of gifting. Thanks so much for making this possible. – Black Mountain, NC



The card for pet loss is wonderful and I am sure it will comfort the owners. – Holland, MI





What a great way to pay tribute to my children, by planting trees for their future world! – Fort Collins, CO




I am happy to have a way of sharing Earth Day with family and friends, thank you! – Beaverton, OR

In these times, even gifts must do double duty. I love the fact that the Earth also benefits from this choice. – Youngstown, OH

This is an amazing gift... no paper, no postage just benefits to our environment – Brooklyn, NY

Going Green

Many more corporations have green plans in their blueprints! In new Wal-Mart stores, the baseboards and moldings are made of plastic left over from diaper manufacturing. Chipolte, has installed an energy producing wind turbine outside a new store in the Chicago suburbs. A Florida pizza chain called Pizza Fusion reuses the draft from its ovens to heat water!

Another recent participant in the Going Green movement is McDonald’s. A newly rebuilt restaurant in Chicago is crammed with energy and water saving gadgets as varied as high-efficiency appliances, pavement that filters rainwater, and tables and chairs made out of recycled material-it even has a garden on the roof!

We salute all these companies for their Going Green efforts!

Mcgraphics has come up with a new Identity for Hope for Good Organization. We are taking vote to see weather our family, friends, neighbors, followers, newcomers, listeners, readers, lookers, and so on...

We love the look that has been established for all of 4 months we have been an organization, but we find the color less appealing for our targeted demographics we feel are our primary audience.

A simple check by the name by the box that appeals the most to you. Remember there is no right or wrong answer.

Above is the existing logo identity...below is the new look and feel....please feel free to comment on which identity appeals to you and why, just select a box that you feel appropriate. Thanks for your Hope for Good comments.

Deforestation is a critical problem that affects all of us, whether we live in the city or we rely on the forest for our livelihoods. Currently, almost half of the world's industrial logging goes into making paper, and each of us uses an average of 65 cubic feet of wood every year — equivalent to six 12-14" diameter trees — in paper and paper products. You may know about the "three Rs" — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Now it's time to take the next step — Replant, the "Fourth R." By replanting the trees that we use, we can take responsibility for our paper use and do our part to counteract the devastating consequences of deforestation. Just as the recycling ethic of the 1970s started with individuals like us, so too can "replanting" become a regular part of our lives. Use the calculator below to determine the number of trees you want to replant for yourself or for your whole family. Once you've seen how easy it is to become 100% Replanted, you can help even more by spreading the word to your workplace, school, and community groups.

Hope for Good: The Soloist Movie

The Soloist Movie

I am always inspired by a good movie. Here I think is a great movie. The Soloist. It celebrates the gifts of a talented musician and the touching and poignant life story of him and others. Below is the listing on the movie website.

Hope for Good

The Soloist is a biographical drama about real-life musical prodigy Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, who dropped out of Julliard after developing schizophrenia and became a homeless musician on the streets of Los Angeles. Journalist Steve Lopez discovers the former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets. As Lopez endeavors to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both their lives.

Krabbe's Disease and Greyson's Story

A wonderful Texas law passed to prevent Krabbe's disease in newborn infants.
A test, if given at birth, can prevent the certain tragic end to every child born with this disease.

Greyson's story, what no one knew...

Greyson was born with Krabbe’s disease. A rare form of leukodystrophy that slowly but surely attacks the nervous system and almost certainly ends in death for those that have it, mostly children under the age of two years old. While the loss of a child is certainly tragic under any circumstances, Greyson’s death is particularly tragic as a simple heel-prick blood test, if done at the time of his birth, would have identified the disease and given options for treatment. That’s right - a simple Newborn Screen for this disease would have identified it and treatment could have began immediately. Instead, Greyson, like many of those before him afflicted with Krabbe’s and diagnosed too late to make a difference, died before he reached his first birthday.

Hope for Good

[hope]_Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. [1] Hopefulness is somewhat different from optimism in that hope is an emotional state, whereas optimism is a conclusion reached through a deliberate thought pattern that leads to a positive attitude.
