Thought for the Day

”If we grew our own food,
we wouldn’t waste a third of it as we do today.
If we made our own tables and chairs,

If we had to clean our own drinking water,
we probably wouldn’t contaminate it.”

Mark Boyle
founder of
The Freeconomy Community

“Thank God men cannot fly,
and lay waste the sky

~Vijay V. Vaitheeswaran~

insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain’s majesty
above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs,
from sea to oily sea.”

~ George Carlin
