Blog yOur Urban Odyssey: stories that make up life in the city—your city, any city — wherever you may be.
odyssey:
“1. An extended adventurous wandering. 2. An intellectual or spiritual quest. [After the Odyssey, a Homeric epic recounting the wanderings of Odysseus after the fall of Troy. < Fr. Odyssée Odyssea Odusseia Odusseus, Odysseus.]”
Yes the earth is being killed but the real killer might be difficult to persecute. After years of laws and regulations going after the big companies we are still where we were before in terms of pollution of the most important substance on earth. So who is murdering the earth? We ALL are, by everyday decisions on how we want our lawns to look, how much concrete and asphalt we like to walk on, how much chicken we want to eat and how much we want to impress other with our SUVs. So, how much of our lifestyle are we willing to give up to save the earth? I just hope that the poster shown above was printed on recyclable paper with non-toxic, bio-degradable ink;)

Well said JP. I agree. All of us are on that list, and all of us need a shift in lifestyle. Some doors need to be knocked on first, before others.
