I find the best places to walk. I am not as appreciative of life, when humanity is massed to the point of sardines in cans and thus, I walk and find the outside of that can… It reminds me so much of my upbringing in America. A time when people walked, talked and pumped water […]

I actually am amazed at the fact that we even think China should take all our trash… The war on “foreign waste” started last July when China banned imports of 24 varieties of solid waste.
