I enjoy the perks (and quirks) of keeping plants, tracking lunar cycles, and living in a tiny home in the woods. I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie and have also lived on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in the Lake Erie watershed, on the banks of the Arno River (Mediterranean Sea drainage basin), and in the Connecticut River watershed.

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.

C. Beavan: [I] felt like I’d just stepped on the scale and the news was much worse than I’d thought. [I]t was the throwing away of things used for less than five minutes without so much as a though before reaching for the exact same product to use for another five minutes before throwing that away, too. [F]or years, I had been giving myself a daily pass with the intention of eventually doing better.
C. Beavan: [Is a] ‘high standard of living’ the same as a good quality of life?
