THE EXTREME ECOLOGIST

I've been reading Nothing wants Nothing for sometime. He made me open my eyes to the current situation in regards to the environment.

Last year I decided to sell my gas guzzling SUV or so I thought. If I simply sold my SUV someone else would be polluting the environment. So I did, well I thing it's perfectly rational behavior, maybe not to you but I did what I know is right.

I sold my SUV as scrap. Yes, I destroyed the SUV. I'm not wealthy. I would describe myself as a middle class computer programmer. I read and hear things about people going green whatever that may mean.

I drive a fuel efficient compact car when I absolutely need to. Other than that I walk or ride my bicycle.

I decided that if I was going to 'turn green' I would have to do it full bore and not look back.

I feel liberated as though something heavy was lifted from my shoulders.

Scraping my SUV was not the last thing I did.

There's more to come.
