SuperForester Maggie just sent us word of No Impact Man Colin Beavan’s latest venture: the No Impact Project.

Want to live No Impact for a week? Sign up on the site and they’ll guide you through the steps. All friendly like! Your transition to No Impact living is gradual and easy. Little by little, you work to minimize your impact over the course of a week, and by weeks end, you guessed it… No Impact Life!

The No Impact Life is both extreme and very fulfilling apparently. I myself have never tried to go No Impact for a week. That’s why I signed up. It’s free and cool, and there’s the most hilarious video imaginable on the site:

Check out No Impact Project, SuperForesters! Maybe a bunch of us sign up and we can all try it out together? Share tips and ideas? That sounds like a big old SuperForesty win right there.

What say you, SuperForester Maggie? You and me, together in cyberspace? Let’s do this thing.

Love,

Jackson

The Inspiring Philosophy of Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks was an American comedian who died of cancer at the far-too-young age of 33.

His work is ribald, profane, and thought-provoking like all get out, and if you’ve never heard of Bill Hicks, we strongly recommend checking out some of his stuff on the ol’ Truth Box.

I was watching a Bill Hicks DVD and something he said really stuck with me.

What he said was this:


“I had a vision of a way we could have no enemies ever again, if you’re interested in hearing this. Anybody interested in hearing this? It’s kind of an interesting theory, and all we have to do is make one decisive act and we can rid the world of all our enemies at once.

Here’s what we do:

You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars.

Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded… Not one… We could as one race explore outer space together in peace, forever.”

Dang, kitten. That’s out of sight.
Those words sum up fairly well what SuperForest is all about. Enthusiasm and prosperity allowing we humans access to the stars. And by extension access to greater knowledge.

Extended Peace will allow us as a race to spread our wonderful consciousness throughout many worlds, if only we can settle our differences and quit blowing one another up.

This is a goal we believe can be achieved in our lifetimes.

Love to all, and especially to the late, great Bill Hicks, for his foresight and the depth of his love for his species.
