Our Environment

missed a week of posting. A few notes:
1) I finished reading Varda Burtsyn's book - Water Inc. - B+. At the 65% point the book became very interesting "couldn't put the book down". One of the those fiction novels that rings true on several levels - geography/real places, real life world issues/history ( same model as Dan Brown's DaVinci Code). Only challenge I felt in reading the book was the character development.

2) Watched with interest Elizabeth May's "whistle-stop" tour in Western Canada to Toronto and on to Ottawa.

3) Went to a local presentation to listen to John Seed, Australian eco-activist. Very interesting. Many take-aways for me, the best one for immediate implementation is to stop referring to "the environment", it is "our environment". Our environment is not separate from living life forms, replace 'the" with "our". Unless I can find some magical way of not breathing air, drinking water or eating nutrients. Death at this point is not magical.
