Thanks to everybody who gave me such great support in the comments of my “Return to Simplicity” post. It really meant a lot to me, I’ll be thinking about what you guys said for a while.
I’m not intentionally ignoring The Scoop, lest you think I’ve given up entirely. I’m traveling to a wedding in Mexico [...]
I don’t know about all of you, but I thought Kerry’s last post about the green noise was excellent and something we all have to keep in our minds. The line in the NY Times article that really struck me was from Paul Hawken, when he said, “even people inside the movement have the [...]
