trees down!

admin — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 17:40:05 +0000

i am saddened by my recent discovery that an estimated 320 million trees were destroyed by hurricane katrina. 320 million!!! makes the 1,350 trees i planted this year seems like nothing. the world needs about 23,704 people like me just to replace those trees alone. upon wakening this morning, we saw the devastation of yet another great hurricane, ike. makes you wonder about all the tsunamis and monsoons around the world… and what affect they have upon our great symbiotic friends, the trees.
we have our work cut out for us people. as we all know by now, the planet’s loss of trees increases climate change… the storms are only going to get more severe, so we have to start planting our trees now!
please help.

the year of the bicycle?

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 04:54:51 +0000

sometimes riding a bike sucks. let’s face it, once you get over the ugly helmet, uncomfortable seat and total exposure… then you have to deal with often ugly people, uncomfortable collisions and total humiliation.
but in overcoming these obstacles, bicyclist become empowered. sometimes bitter, but often stronger and healthier as a result.
as the universe would have it, for every time we get knocked down… given a ticket for a “riding infraction”, or much worse, like getting clipped or killed by a car… we get thrown a bone, like a new bicycle boulevard or trail, or this great new legislation in the the netherlands to mandate cyclist-protecting airbags on the outside of cars. all the more reason to make the netherlands our next holiday destination.
