Yesterday, you may have read, I posted about how No Impact Man lives once the rules of the No Impact Man project cease to exist. I called myself low impact man in that post, but I’m sticking with my original moniker. The ironies are just too precious. Anyway, one thing I brought up is the […]

How to talk to people about human health, happiness and security (or what some people call “the environment”)
I’m in the business of trying to get people to see that we could be happier, healthier and more secure with some adjustments to how we run our country and our lives. How we live our lives affects how we run our country. How we run our country affects how we live our lives. This […]
How to help make the planet a better place for all of us
