Most of us Americans (born before Generation Y) were not raised with a world view of sustainability, permaculture, organics, etc. Just as you are unschooling your children (more applause), you are unlearning a lifetime of habits. We all are. Change is a process. Keep at it, and be encouraged.Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996260776490942880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26113031.post-34256406683270545992007-05-28T03:58:00.000-07:002007-05-28T03:58:00.000-07:00Funny, this sounds so much like part of my post up...Funny, this sounds so much like part of my post upon returning from Disney World. <BR/><BR/>It really is culture shock to go out and experience the profligacy and decadence. Of course I could always do more, but so much of what we're doing has become second nature that I don't even think about it anymore. It just doesn't register until I go out in the world and it all comes rushing back.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26113031.post-22645070122938398792007-05-26T18:36:00.000-07:002007-05-26T18:36:00.000-07:00I had my wake-up call recently, too.

From water to dune grass, the beach was littered with trash. It was so depressing. I realized that there aren't as many people intersted in leaving the consumer lifestyle as I had thought as I sit here in my happy little bubble visiting with my like-minded friends and the people I've met in the blogosphere.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26113031.post-28644776019454159182007-05-25T18:48:00.000-07:002007-05-25T18:48:00.000-07:00That is the world I live in everyday which is why ...That is the world I live in everyday which is why I'm so discouraged and depressed by the future of our country. I don't live in an area where anyone is at all interested in sustainability. It is just consume, consume around here. I'm really looking forward to moving somewhere where others may be interested in sustainability.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920326845870515381noreply@blogger.com
