Logging Companies Want to Make Tree Sitting a FELONY.

Logging corporations in Oregon are trying to kick environmentalists out of their trees by getting the state to make it a felony to protest logging by tree sitting and allow companies to sue protesters for financial damages caused by such protests.

A first offense would be a felony with a mandatory minimum jail sentence of 13 months.

“How is such a repetition possible and why? I love, I can only love the earth I’ve left behind, stained with my blood when, ungrateful wretch that I am, I extinguished my life by shooting myself through the heart. But never, never have I ceased to love that earth, and even on the night I parted from it I loved it perhaps more poignantly than ever. Is there suffering on this new earth? On our earth we can truly love only with and through suffering! We know not how to love otherwise. We know no other love. I want suffering in order to love. I want and thirst this very minute to kiss, with tears streaming down my cheeks, the one and only earth I have left behind. I don’t want, I won’t accept life on any other!…”

- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (via inexorablexistence)

Today I started thinking about ways to get students wanting to pickup trash they see on campus. If the people that are payed to dont, then we need to do something about it.
I was thinking making bracelets out of recycled goods and putting an earth on them, as a reminder to pick up.
Would this work?

I’m tired of my campus being so littered. There is trash everywhere. Even the guys who go out and pick it up clearly neglect it.

I understand that the earth seems like this vacuum because the trash seems to disappear. But it doesn’t, and the constant ignorant mindset is slowly hindering the environment efficiency the natural world provides us with. It is not complicated, there is no monumental solution needed: all that needs to be known is that yes, it is important to recycle. It does matter.
Go green.

Coalition Acts to Protect Longmont’s Constitutional Right to Ban Fracking

“Rather than sue communities acting to protect their public health, industry and the state should be addressing legitimate community concerns by putting the public’s health before industry profits.”

How big a backyard would you need to live off the land?

Graphic illustrates how much backyard square footage would be needed to feed a family of 4 a well-rounded diet of meat, dairy, eggs, wheat, fruits and veggies for a year. Not surprisingly, it’s a lot.
