Everywhere you go today, whether at work, school or shopping, there are signs and promotions reminding us of our earthly responsibilities. Take a moment to go online at www.nytimes.com/magazine and read the April 20th, 2008 Green Issue of the New York Times Sunday magazine. It is filled with short pieces on a myriad of ways that people are going Green, whether through architecture, biotech, urban farming or personal endeavor. It left me energized with the possibilities of real change that can, and must, occur.
I will leave you with a quote from a powerful article by Michael Pollan, “Why Bother? Looking for a few good reasons to go green."
“Once our personal connection to what is wrong becomes clear, then we have to choose: we can go on as before, recognizing our dishonesty and living with it the best we can, or we can begin the effort to change the way we think and live.” Wendell Berry, Kentucky farmer and writer wrote this in the 1970’s.
