Comments for the ecology of happiness http://www.beyond-eco.org living richer by living better, incidentally "for the planet," too Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:44:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Unconferencing Rio+20, Really Changing Things by Gerald http://www.beyond-eco.org/2012/02/unconferencing-rio/comment-page-1/#comment-1173 Gerald Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:44:23 +0000 http://www.beyond-eco.org/?p=504#comment-1173 Honored to have the Reverend visit. Sounds like the contradiction I expressed before, in arguing why I don't want donations (last post, actually: http://www.beyond-eco.org/2012/02/quit-with-the-band-aids-change-lives-and-work-for-better/)... You do provide a service, too, so why not? There just is some reckoning to be made. In the case of the eco-logically, realistically aware people, with our own minds, in perfect honesty, not absolving ourselves easily of our sins made while preaching to others about the wrongness of their ways... Earthalujah, there *are* better lives - if only we lead them ourselves, and others in the example. Honored to have the Reverend visit.

I'm tossed on the contradiction: I make my living preaching about the earth and consumption and German arts festivals and university budgets get me to the communities who want that preaching... And of course the fact is that the internet needs its embodied parallel. Amen? Yes I re-tweeted your message.
