I enjoy the perks (and quirks) of keeping plants, tracking lunar cycles, and living in the woods. I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie and have lived most of my adult life on the banks of the Cuyahoga River.

C. Beavan: It turns out that my family’s plastic take-out-tub trash is part of a huge societal garlic-sauce-covered slop of molded hydrocarbons and other petrochemicals that, after perhaps twenty minutes of use, will end up in landfills and incinerators, to leach chemicals into the water we drink or vaporize into the air we breath.

... greed and the lust for power rarely bring out the best in people. [B Keefer, Ne-O]
C. Beavan: [T]he simple idea that we ought not take for granted what we had been blessed with[: We] should act with gratitude for this life we’ve been granted and all that comes with it. [I] looked at the volume of stuff I had used for less than five minutes, and I felt ungrateful.
C. Beavan: Leaving aside the people who have severely limited access to food and clean drinking water, so many people I knew, both in New York and elsewhere in the world’s go-fast consumer culture, were dissatisfied with the lives they had worked to get-the lives they were supposed to want.
C. Beavan: What really filled me with despair, though, was that I didn’t believe that the way of life that was steadily wrecking the planet even made us happy. [If] I had to generalize, I would say that, on average, the [billions of] people who share this globe are nowhere near as happy as they could be.
