Dunno about you, but I really value air. And water. They’re kinda important. Just a bit. So, I was already in the market for a hybrid car, and my imminent seachange has us excitedly planning our vege garden and getting back into wholefoods and baking and all that jazz. I’m also doing things to plant a tree a month (at least, probably more), boycott ethanol fuels (they destroy more water and waste more resources than standard fuels), and continuing to find ways to invest in our future on this planet – enriching our habits and habitats – rather than ignoring important things til we run out of air or water or both.
That in mind, I had a divinely guided themed flight back from DWD (best dwd EVER, just quietly), watching back-to-back movies including: “An Inconvenient Truth”… “Who Killed the Electric Car?” and a bit of “Fast Food Nation” etc
….and then I got emailed this article to boot…. http://www.fao.org/newsroom/en/news/2006/1000448/index.html
My new seachange home also happens to be the beef capital of Australia, and pretty much the mining capital as well…….. so, into the belly of the beast, any ideas to help blow it up from the inside??
Speaking of blowing things up, I found out that war games are scheduled to bomb our delightful wonder-of-the-world great barrier reef just off the coast of my new home town in May/June 2007. http://www.peaceconvergence.com/ Are we nuts, people?? I mean, Seriously!?!?!
I can’t help but think I’m getting thrown into the middle of mining-beef-and-bomb-central for a reason… if everything happens for a reason and it serves and it’s guided, then this can’t be an accident, can it?
If you’ve got any ideas or contacts or anything you’re doing or anyone else is doing that may help or even spark an idea or two about any of these issues, please let me know. I would deeply and eternally appreciate anything you’ve got to offer, even just your own thoughts on the matter – even the most innane trivial stuff can be immensely valuable in the right hands.
Many oceans of love, many generations of gratitude, Jade
