i am a vegetarian, politically-minded, peace-loving/Bush-despising, medium-grade Star Wars geek (there are many much worse than me). i practice a unique blend of Hinduism, Wicca and Buddhism. i love astronomy, astrology, sociology (self-proclaimed anti-capitalist, Marxist, socialist). i have a keen interest in alternative healing of all kinds, and i practice Reiki, and meditate regularly. ...and i tell the worst jokes ever...

from the page:
"- A typical fast food restaurant with two bathrooms can use up to 2000 pounds of paper towels a year
- A single tree produces around 100 pounds of paper
- Roughly 50,000 fast food restaurants in the US"
You know what that means?
That ONE MILLION TREES give their lives each year solely to stock paper towels in ONE industry...in ONE country.That's not counting toilet paper! What about those people that strategically place layer after layer of toilet paper on the toilet before they sit down and then use a thick mitt to wipe...
*sigh
we waste.
we consume.
i highly respect that most places and people in asian countries don't use toilet paper. they wash instead.
something i learned from being in India: the west is so shamelessly wasteful. and we seem to think we need to teach the rest of the world how to be so... if others aren't wasteful then they aren't civilized. if they live in harmony with the Earth, Her bounty and Her cycles, then certainly they must below us somehow.
we are the savages. ravaging the land, water and air. defacing our Mother. playing rough and teaching others to do the same, when it is time for us to be learning something from them. spread peace, love and compassion.
consume less. share more.
