I almost never drive my car. I ride my bike everywhere because I just really don't like driving that much, especially in cities. I even rode my bike 60 miles to Washington DC last weekend. It was such an awesome experience.

I also compost and recycle most of my waste. I'm unemployed, but taking over my parents small organic blueberry farm this year. I recently quit my job because I wanted to help out on the farm and I've become more conscious of how wasteful and consumerist my life had become. All I want to do anymore is seek inner peace through meditation and a healthy lifestyle.

It's strange because i don't really care all that much about the environment, because I think we're pretty fucked anyway, but I've just had less of a desire to acquire possessions and more of a desire to seek spiritual enlightenment. The materialist world is obviously dying and I can't wait for it to fall. Everyone should prepare for this eventuality. We will learn to cherish and preserve the earth or we will perish.

Original Message I have friends who complain about what some big corporations are doing to degrade our Earth. I know them well so I can ask them what they contribute to better the husbandry of the place that we all call home - Earth.

I have helped build compost bins for a number of people and it is cool to see them develop a lasting interest.

However, in many cases they do nothing. I've suggested that one simple thing they can do is to use cloth bags when grocery shopping. Interestingly that is the most disagreeable & I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's not masculine.

If you get upset with companies like BP or litter floating in the ocean or any environmental crime, ask yourself what you do.

However small, it is a contribution and it adds up.

It's cool to here what people are doing.

I don't expect this thread to last long, but while it is active I hope it changes the habits of a few.
