It takes less land to grow a pound of broccoli than it does a pound of beef. Less land to grow a pound of grain than a pound of beef. Less water, less energy.
We, who have so much, must do more to help those in need. And most of all, we must live simply, so that others may simply live.
I was a typical Valley teen, in smoggy Van Nuys.
People don't want to give up their SUVs. They don't want to turn the thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer.
Some would call me an environmentalist. I don't know why. I reuse the water that falls in my backyard in the winter. I reuse the trash and clippings I produce for mulch. I reuse the rain that falls on my roof, and I reuse the sun that shines on my house for energy. I guess you could call me a strategic opportunist as much as an environmentalist.
My father also encouraged my love of nature. He urged me to become a Cub Scout, and later a Boy Scout, and I found I really liked being outdoors.
