I watched An Inconvenient Truth recently. I feel like I need to make a difference to stop global warming.
Jake and I have been using cloth bags to grocery shop lately. I guess that's one way to make a difference.
We really should install a low-flow showerhead in our apartment. Our shower pumps out a lot of hot water.
I heard that it's better to buy coffee that's shade grown. The stuff that's grown in the sun is often grown in areas of depleted rainforest. I don't know how to determine if my coffee has been grown in the shade, though.
I want to quit my job. I'm thinking my new career should be professional activist.
How do professional activists survive?
Sometimes I think my job is meaningless. Sometimes I think that the kids I work with just take up space. I think to myself about how if I knew I was going to give birth to a child like the ones I work with, I'd probably have an abortion. Does that make me a bad person?

The people in town look at me funny when I bring in paper bags to reuse.
I think shade-grown coffee is labelled pretty obviously. You have to go out of your way to buy it-- like you do with organic.
If you were an activist, you'd probably want to write activism books to make cash. And maybe you could get paid for some of your appearances. Or maybe you could have a foundation and you'd be an employee of your foundation.
Go for it!! I'll buy a copy of all your books! And hand them out as Festivus presents too.
I want to make a difference too.
And I don't think that last thought makes you a bad person. I think it makes you real.
It's a dangerous thought though. I myself am a big fan of dangerous thoughts.
I like to indulge every chance I get.
