After enthusiastically telling us all about his beloved home, he went on to proudly exclaim that ''this all used to be forest! Can you believe that?! And now look at it! It was just trees and stuff before! It's amazing''.

I realize sulking is not very effective at accomplishing things but over the years I've found a good sulk now and then is sorta ok. :-)<br /><br />You rightly point out that it is astonishing how many positive effects and results there are as a result of the vegan thingee. It's almost spooky.veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-26087427990018544202011-10-19T08:36:30.694-05:002011-10-19T08:36:30.694-05:00Thanks for commenting Christina and Joan.

I often feel the same way you do - not wanting to come out of bed because of the grief over what our species is doing to this beautiful fragile orb we are lucky enough to call home. After sulking for a bit in some dark corner of my house I realize that sulking doesn't help anything.

The average person is exposed to enough information that ignorance can't be the excuse. The Earth will rejoice when man finally self-destructs.
