Living a relatively ordinary life, I have gotten quite complacent about the human condition. I allowed myself to sit idly and rely on others to bring about the social, ecological and economical changes we so desperately need. Taking comfort that as long as there is a voice of dissent, then I can go about my day not caring. Finally, those years of complacency/denial has come to a head. I started to feel restless hearing/reading about the catastrophes both environmental (pollution, endangered species, climate change, genetically engineered food, oil spills, etc) and economic (sweat shops, overmining resources, corporate globalization, etc) - an overwhelming amount of crimes agains humanity and the environment. What can I possibly do about it? Me - with no particular talent, no real influence, no wealth to speak of. What can I do? What can you do? what can anybody who cares do?
