Just the ticket - volunteer-minded trips for lesbians
Shannon Wentworth tried so hard to walk lightly on the Earth.
She gave up meat for 24 years. She followed a strict vegan and reuse regimen, buying all her clothes at thrift shops. She tried to save the world, all by herself. Yet, by her own admission, she was so rigid that she just wasn't that much fun to be around.
"My life was defined by sacrifice, and I wasn't necessarily winning anyone over," she said. "Salads and no shopping for the rest of your life ... who wants to join that party?"
Then she reconsidered her approach to life. Now Wentworth's party is in full swing, and thousands are lining up to get in.
Wentworth is founder and CEO of Sweet, a lesbian ecotourism company that brings groups of women to faraway places to have a good time in the name of community service.
