Wow…

If you do one thing today, watch the VBS.tv presentation Toxic Garbage Island.
(Warning: It has some swearing in it.)

I am extremely grateful to VBS.tv for funding this assignment.
Watching this is extremely motivating.
After having seen it, I resolve to re-examine every aspect of my life that I might work and live with less impact, more awareness, and a greater respect for life.

Special thanks to VBS.tv, which is an incredible resource of top notch Journalism 2.0

Great Meme: Purity

SF heard an incredibly sticky new meme last night:

“Purity is the new decadence”

If you want to live clean, free of chemicals, it will cost you.
SF recently watched an incredible documentary over at VBS.tv about the people who make a living digging through the trash dumps in Manila, looking for anything that could be recycled. The hardest part to watch was seeing the children swim in the heavily polluted streams that run off of the trash piles.

What does that much contact with that many carcinogens and plastic do to your DNA?
How would that exposure affect successive generations of people?

I’ll guess we’ll just wait and see.

In the meantime, start saving your pennies for that carbon-neutral trip to an eco-holiday in an unspoiled wilderness. Urghh.

We in the West have ZERO to complain about. We live like wild kings compared to the rest of the world. Cherish it.

Love to all,

SF
