...I keep running into these sarcastic, depressing responses when I talk about the environment, pollution, the oil spill, human ignorance, anything like that --
"My life is hard enough without you hippies telling me I'm destroying Earth"
... you know, as if, by talking about the problem, I just become another voice resounding with the more-bad-news mainstream media driving America to drink booze and watch TV to find some relief. Well, I can adjust my voice. I'm not a cult fanatic with a megaphone. So my intention is to be entirely solution oriented -- I just want to hear some good news from people who care and are changing their own little lives to make things better, and I need a medium for my own crazy fucking head. So here it izzzzz...

My mission


Hi everybody! I turned down a teaching job for the summer and am planning to bike and bus to the gulf coast, because I need to see for myself what is happening, talk to people, and do whatever little thing I can to help. I live in Eugene, OR. I'll head off in a few weeks. I plan to talk to friends along the way and stay solution-oriented, seeking hope in this world-wide time of grief. I'll be posting videos and pictures, so stay tuned!
