Sustainable

Um.  I think there might be a problem with our society when we need to put sustainable in front of words like farming and energy.  I would think everything we do should be sustainable.  I thought our children are our future.  If Michael Jackson was right wouldn't we want to leave this world atleast how we found it.  I would like to be a sustainable human being, but I don't know if that is possible anymore.

It is so wonderful how corporations hop from country to country seeking cheaper and cheaper labor.  I really appreciate it when the local labor force tries to form unions because of the horrible working conditions and the company fights it or leaves.  Um maybe we are all humans beings.  Yes your $5 t-shirt is awesome, but it cost a lot more than $5.  Someone who was working in a rural environment is now working in a factory for $5 a month, so you can buy an awesome shirt for $5.  That is not sustainable. 

Be a sustainable human
