It's Earth Day...again

So........For Earth Day I re-read Ecotopia

...Did you know Nixon signed the Clean Water Act, The Clean Air Act, The Endangered Species Act, and started the EPA ?? That was way back in the 70s when Republicans thought that a clean environment was good for everyone, and a conservative value ! The party left me, I didn't leave it...so, I'm not a fan of neo-con Republicans who think of nothing but war and money for themselves. Shame shame shame.

On May 4, 1970, OHIO NATIONAL GUARDSMEN opened fire on American citizens--anti-war protesters at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others. On that day, my baby girl was 3 months-old, and we had just marched a few weeks earlier on the first Earth Day.
Which is what I say on my ME page on ebay .....
your new god, Kunstler says: Go plant a garden. And learn some handicrafts.

Stay the Hell outta the Mall........and stop buying new useless crap.....from china.from where ever. You went to college. Use that brain !!! challenge the dominant paradigm ! my college grad class motto......Be The Change You Wish To See.....

Kunstler says a lot of things that us Old Hippies (well I'm a flower child...big difference) have been saying for Decades.
What if the energy programs.......we started in the 70s were still in practice today ?? 25 years of energy conservation....wind energy...solar energy....trains....buses......fewer children....less materialism.......what would your world look like today....and our heroes were folks like the Nearings.....no, it wasn't a paradise.....but it was a good start......Look what was accomplished with a Republican president.....

Also, Mark and I reread........the writings of William Morris......you know the Wallpaper guy........our favorite.......

Useful Work v. Useless Toil
