Talk to Your Neighbors (& #OccupyLaughter)
In this digital age, we’ve all experienced situations in which a text message or e-mail was misconstrued because the person on the receiving end could not discern tone. Without the facial expressions, physical gestures, and vocal inflections gathered during face-to-face conversation, communication can often be challenging.
With that in mind, I am unilaterally announcing: “Face-to-Face February.” One month to explore the value of human contact and the role it can play in saving our eco-system.

#Occupy for the Multi-Legged
Too often, we humans like to see ourselves as above or perhaps not even connected to the “animal” kingdom. But the more we learn about the species we underestimate, the more we can adjust our perceptions and behavior towards a more earth-friendly way of life.
Simple suggestion: Don’t demonize insects when it’s us humans who are treating the planet like it’s an orbiting outhouse.

*235,000 miles have been channelized
*More than 600,000 miles are impounded behind dams
