No Packed Food, OCTOBER! 19th (environmentalist? me?)

Hey!

As you all know(!), my current concern is 'environmetalists'! So, that is the time that i should tell you something about myself... Ready to hear? (Warning: Children who are under 89 can be affected badly! ) i am still an environmentalist! i hope i did not scare you:)

However, you may ask me what kind of environmentalist i am? Well, believe me or not, there are lots of definitions and concepts for environmentalists: Am i 'greenie', am i 'treehugger', am i 'green anarchist', am i 'eco-socialist'? Am i 'conservative' or 'liberal'? Reformist or supporter of radical changes? Wow!

i am not going to tell you what kind of environmentalist i am; you probably understood already. However, there is still one question that seems interesting: Is environmentalism a new religion? To me, it is not:) BUT!! My friend Ma from GreEn Forum suggested me to read a book written by Klaus: “Blue Planet in Green Shackles. What Is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?”

i have not read the book yet, but i guess ,from the title, concept of environmentalism connected to 'Watermelon: Green on the outside, Red on the inside'
. i ll discuss it later,maybe, when i finish the book. First, i need to find the book:)

Last words (of wisdom,haha): environmentalism is an arising concept and not everybody is aware of that yet. i realized it for the first time when one of my friend said me 'You say you are not going to buy any clothes for the environment. Are they related?'. Well, it is also kind of consumption and breaks the first R: Reduce! At the end, he is still my very close friend and he does shopping:)At least, he knows why they are related!

Lessons to be learned:

1) Searching for more is good! Thanks my roomie to make me more curious!! (Although, she suffers from my questions:)
2) Connecting People is not only about telecommunication!
3) i m still, i am still 'env.ist'! (i hope you noticed the melody!)


Tip of the day: Try to find 2nd hand books: Less paper use, more notes on the pages!

Cheers!!
