Feel Good Friday...The Throw-away Society

Feel Good Friday…The Throw-away Society

We throw away so much stuff every day. The size of my trash can is an embarrassment. Even though I only put it out once a month or so it still feels like way too much. Why do we feel the need to use paper towels or disposable cups? Trash bags to fill with trash to put in the trash can? And then where does it all go? Even if we ship it ½ way across the world it is still in out own backyard. Because we are all connected...one to another across the entire earth. We really need to get this into our consciousness, that we are all connected and what we do here on this continent in this little town affects people 10,000 miles away.

Julia Butterfly Hill has been an activist for a long time now. In this video she talks about the disposability consciousness:

As usual very thought provoking.
