nature will find a way…
this whole “economic crisis” has had better success in a few months than all of the environmentalists combined over the past few decades at getting people to
reduce
reuse
recycle
…with money tight and opportunities scarce, more people are finding ways to get by on less. and that’s not just good for their wallets. it’s good for the environment. it’s forcing us to move away from a disposable economy and towards a more sustainable one.
and I hope the trend continues because, if you know me, while I’m a far cry from your stereotypical, tree-hugging, hippie type, I have long claimed myself an environmentalist. just ask my parents who were forced to drive me to the recycling plant, long before the dawn of curbside recycling.
