What I like about twitter is that it only gives me 140 characters to say something meaningful.
Today I wrote (in exactly 140 characters):
---Home---Contact---Quilts---Videos---
---Commission---About---Family---Links---Testimonials---

Today I wrote (in exactly 140 characters):
I can not believe that the cells are pre-cancerous and that I have to endure MORE pain, MORE forms, MORE doctors. I really am stunned. Fuck.
(Sorry if you aren't a fan of swearing. I don't usually swear but I am SO over all of this. I want to be done, done, done.)

Only we can change the environment! I realize that I cannot change everything that there is to change. I still use plastic sandwich bags (although I wash them and reuse them.) I still buy coffee and forget my to-go mug. I still commute. I am not perfect in my goal toward zero impact.
Some changes I have made:
A switch to post-consumer recycled paper products when I buy papaer products at all.
I use cloth napkins.
I compost.
I do not eat at fast food restaurants.
I made a committment to buy local or LOO - produce, products...local whenever possible
I refuse more and more to shop at the chain stores and Costco and big box stores. I don't care how cheap the prices are - they are too expensive.
I carpool.
I garden more than I shop for clothes or stuff.
I take less showers and wear my clothes longer.
I volunteer. A lot.
I do not watch TV.
I am a Unitarian Universalist in a church running on solar power.
I made a commitment to buy a biodiesel vehicle.
I avoid (whenever possible) buying from China (both to boycott their occupation of Tibet and to avoid funding environmental disasters and human rights violations.)
I reuse and recycle whenever I can.
I can do more. You can do more. For now, lets support Al Gore. He wants us to write to Congress. I did. It took less than a minute.
