Great Meme: Purity

SF heard an incredibly sticky new meme last night:

"Purity is the new decadence"


If you want to live clean, free of chemicals, it will cost you.
SF recently watched an incredible documentary over at VBS.tv about the people who make a living digging through the trash dumps in Manilla, looking for anything that could be recycled. The hardest part to watch was seeing the children swim in the heavily polluted streams that run off of the trash piles.






Check out the video: vbs.tv

What does that much contact with that many carcinogens and plastic do to your DNA?
How would that exposure affect successive generations of people?

I'll guess we'll just wait and see.

In the meantime, start saving your pennies for that carbon-neutral trip to an eco-holiday in an unspoiled wilderness. Urghh.

We in the West have ZERO to complain about. We live like wild kings compared to the rest of the world. Cherish it.


Love to all,

SF
