I am determined to believe that there exists a natural balance in the world. After watching Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", I began somewhat obsessively thinking about the environment, waste, the human condition etc. and struggled to understand how we have allowed the terrible state of the environment to progress to this point. It's such a stressing topic to think about, when you realize that destroying the environment has become a part of our daily routine, albeit unknowingly, innocently, almost sweetly. Even writing what I have just written has wasted five entire pages of paper! I'm razing forests as I write about saving the environment. (I'm now writing on the backsides). I suppose it might save paper if I just wrote directly on the computer, but that too, has its drawbacks. The electricity required to run the computer originates at what I imagine to be a big, disgusting, money-hungry electricity plant spewing smoke and dumping toxic waste into the beautiful Mediterranean (this probably is not entirely true, but this is what I sometimes imagine). Even the very water that I'm drinking as I write is contained within a vile, plastic blue bottle which will take thousands and thousands of years to decompose ! The Kafkaesque neurosis that can develop from thinking about these issues is sometimes enough to make me want to sell my possessions, leave the technological world behind, and move to an eco-hut in the desert where I would live off the fat of the land, wearing nothing but an organic, toxin free loincloth. It seems to be the only solution, right? Or maybe not.
