I saw this video posted on My Stupid Thoughts. Just listen. Open your heart and watch. My placard would read I wish I were brave enough to email this to my family.

There is a lot of stupidity in this world, and I have about had enough. I have a lot to say and in all fairness to those who know and love me, I am putting it all right here. I have another blog that is just for my regular family and friends. Pictures of the kids, sweet little paragraphs detailing their activities and the like. THIS blog is for me. Not my kids, not my parents. This is where we get to the meat of the matter. I am tired of smiling in the face of people and thinking WHAT THE FUCK? I know that I do not think or believe the way many of the sheep out there seem to. This blog proves it.

Our Attempts At A Green Lifestyle:
- We try to use cloth napkins or kitchen towels instead of paper towels when we clean up
- I switched to a smaller coffee maker. There is less wasted coffee, there is a shorter brew time, and it therefore uses less engergy
- We attempt to grow plants
- I use a menstrual cup. Safer for me, cleaner for the environment
- We get lots of hand-me-down toys and clothes and we pass everything along
- We use FreeCycle and shop at thrift shops
- I breastfed each child
- My husband walks to work when he can
- Instead of clay litter, we use cat sand made from wheat. Also from pine. In a happy accident, we found that by combining the two, we get better clumpage, less smell, and do not worry if the kids end up with a little in their mouths
- We unplug other appliances like coffee makers, etc.
- We have our media on the wall switch and turn it off at night. That makes SEVEN appliances that are turned off--not just on standby
- We try to use cloth wipes
- We use cloth diapers

This video was simply lovely.
That is a wonderful video to share. I'm sorry you can't send it to your family. I might just send it to mine. Do you have one that discourages people from being prejudiced against immigrants from Mexico, too? That is my sister's big rant lately (she lives in Texas, as I once did).
I strive to love all people, even those with whom I don't agree. Compassion is the Buddhist way. Should be everyone's way, you know?
Peace - D
@feefifoto: I'm glad you liked it!
@Momma: I wish I had one for Mexican immigrants. That is who my uncle typically rants against. Though Hmong immigrants are high up on his list as well. He constantly sends me emails against immigrants. And yet he knows Hubbie has a green card. He says he doesn't included Hubbie in with "those" immigrants, but if you never qualify legal vs. illegal what is the difference? Blech.
I love that video. I wish I could send it to my family too.
