Smokers are like Butts
Walk down any busy street, and look down at the sidewalk. Your eyes will be greeted by butts. Many many butts. An endless stream of butts. Yellow butts, white butts, dirty, stinky butts. Where do all these butts come from, and why are they on the sidewalk and in the gutters of our nation?

La Vida Verde
In the pursuit of leaving less of on impact on Grandmother Earth and ensuring a healthy environment for the wee ones of my wee ones, I have been immersing myself in the treatises and philosophies of the so-called “green” movement. I have found many, inspiring on-line mentors who challenge and inspire me on daily [...]

We had identified a target address for our camp, using some of the Burning Man collateral we had collected recently. 4:00 and Jungle, we said (those are streets in BRC), [...]

“Welcome Home”
I spent the better part of the last month-and-a-half preparing to travel to and survive in the environmentally challenging environs of Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis of about 45,000 in the middle of the Nevada desert. BRC is, of course, home to Burning Man, the famously wild festival of art, music, and free spirits. [...]
