Blog Entry 15 of 32 A pundit with plaudits and propositions
Peg has decided to blog to spotlight non-profits you may not have heard of, address local education issues, and provide social commentary on local, state, national and international issues to get things “off her chest." This may induce laughter, or rage, depending on your perspective. Peg is best known as a community activist. After graduating with a UCSB Sociology degree with an emphasis in American Socialization she began writing freelance articles for newspapers. For twenty years she had a special event company. Her first, foremost and favorite role is as mother to her two children. Her minimal spare time is spent writing, reading, gardening, practicing yoga, and planning travel adventures.

Did you know that mining can produce twenty tons of waste for one 18 karat gold ring? It also displaces the locals and pollutes the drinking water.

Before your next diamond purchase, get all the facts by going to:
