Starting Afresh - BCAM - BCA-International
Hello Everyone!
Happy autumn and happy spring, depending on where you are.
Starting up again! Carol and I are going to ramp up this blog again. For now I am going to remain with this blog page but I am working on the possible transference to a new blog down the track. You will be advised of changes as they occur. There are also plans to tweet and wiki our Conscious Cosmetics campaign, so you'll be informed of this as it grows.
Going international. In the meantime, BCAM's social media side is going international because I am going to do my best to contribute a more global perspective of what needs to be done counter breast cancer worldwide. This morning somebody sent me a very depressing look into the pollution in China. It was absolutely horrific to see people working in intensely polluted conditions, dying of cancer without the epidemic being acknowledged or linked to the dreadful living and working conditions. We are partially to blame in wanting the goods they are producing. It is in seeing things like this that I realise we can't just keep this issue to a single city or country; it's a worldwide concern that we must tackle together by disseminating more knowledge, more skills-building and activism that makes the politicians and manufacturers take note of our very real, very sound concerns.
BCA-Int. Hence, I'll start using the term "BCA-International" for Breast Cancer Action International, to account for my forays around the planet in search of answers, stories, exposés and more.
Help us with info and comments. Please feel free to send us information and to leave us comments on the blog. Your comments are valuable in guiding us as to what you want to hear more about.
Please bookmark us. We're back and we've made a commitment to update this blog at least once a week. If you're lucky, I might even get organised to do it more often but small steps at first!
