Carnival of the Green #12

It's hard to keep up as the weeks rush by - hard to realize that there's already another edition of the Carnival of the Green online. This one is hosted by Urban Eco ("eco-friendly products for city dwellers"). I haven't had time to read all the entries yet, but so far my favorite is Camden Lady's "Why Own a Car?" She lists her own reasons for not owning one, and "I like drinking" is one of them. They are all good reasons, and if I lived in London (or any other big city with mass transport) as she does, I wouldn't own one either. Parking in the city alone is enough to discourage auto ownership. But, I live in the sticks, a place where I can't even get to an airport on mass transit. It's time to make mass transit a priority everywhere, perhaps even particularly in areas like this one. Life would be so much better in so many ways for all of us.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
