Intermission:
- We strongly support Kiva's mission and drive. I've seen this horrible
poverty first hand. Granting people access to and control over capital
gives them a path and the power to lift themselves out of poverty.
What seems to be a relatively small amount to you or I can make a lasting
economic impact beyond imagine.

- Cool MagazineYou are making green fun and hip, and that is what's been missing in a lot of the green discourse so far. Many people already know what to do. They just don't feel like doing it, because it is too much of a chore. We are all pleasure creatures in the end. Congratulations, and thanks for including me in your carnival,
