A note on how the rest of the country lives
I had to reblog this post because it’s something I’ve believed in for a long time. Since I was 16 I’ve been a part some very progressive organizations: PETA, Greenpeace and Amnesty International. But I’ve also lived and have begun living in ways that are less wasteful for the Earth. I stopped eating meat. I probably will never buy a car and if I do, it will be a hybrid. On March 1st, I will begin biking to work to be one less person contributing to energy waste used by MTA in New York City. And A and I will begin to measure how much waste we generate in hope of cutting back as much as possible on a daily basis. We don’t want to continue to contribute to landfills when we don’t have to. It’s not enough to say you like the color green. You have to live the color green. - G
I’m sitting in a place called Corner Bakery, which is part of the King of Prussia Mall. It’s next to the largest Crate & Barrel store I’ve ever seen in my life. This “cafe” is the size of a city block.
Here you eat oversized cookies, soups, sandwiches and anything else you can find to fill your face. You drive here in your SUV and park as close as you can to the entrance. You listen to Frank Sinatra playing while you eat a ham and swiss grilled panini the size of my arm. Everything is wasteful: the size of this place, the amount of food on your plate, the gas guzzler you drive to get here.
Enjoy it while it lasts!
