There are 3 types of automobile drivers in this world. Chess, Checker and Solitaire players. 1. The Chess player: this person watches and anticipates other drivers moves. 2. The Checker player: this person will change lane first, then looks ahead and goes back into the lane they came from. 3. The Solitaire player: this person drives below the speed limit in the passing lane (far left lane) clueless of what is going on around them. ↗

Planting trees, I myself thought for a long time, was a feel-good thing, a nice but feeble response to our litany of modern-day environmental problems. In the last few years, though, as I have read many dozens of articles and books and interviewed scientists here and abroad, my thinking on the issue has changed. Planting trees may be the single most important ecotechnology that we have to put the broken pieces of our planet back together. ↗

This was the first time I thought of S— that day. Her music was beautiful, her voice was beautiful, her body was beautiful. Even the dirty little pads of her feet were beautiful. I cursed myself then. For once, heaven had sent me Beauty in its most perfected form and I abandoned it. She might not have been a girl after all but an angel: a force to guide me on this hazardous path of life I hurry down. How can life be hazardous if it can only end in death? ↗

The western world now obeys the percepts of commerce.A bloody demanding religion,if you ask me.The do's and don'ts change every season and your "everyone" doesn't want to be left out,so they rush headlong to comply.That continuous change has a function,a single aim.Maximum consumption.They want to go on milking you.From the cradle to the grave.Face it:You're a brain washed ,walking purse,a robot,the fuel multinationals run on. ↗

One of the biggest obstacles to making a start on climate change is that it has become a cliche before it has even been understood ↗
