Global climate change has become part of our everyday vocabulary and in turn we see a widespread movement to living “green.” However living “green,” to me isn’t about buying organic products, a hybrid vehicle or cutting down on your water and carbon footprints.

How often do people walk past a homeless person on the street as if they are invisible? As if they do not coexist in the world you live in? What people don’t think of is the fact that homelessness can happen to anyone and it’s an important issue to be addressed. [...]
