Re: Seeking Happiness

Such a helpful post, Micah! Whether it be Bright Eyes or the pink hat, the source of the wisdom is certainly appreciated (and yeah doesn't it often come from unexpected places?). I used to feel like there was something totally wrong with me, that I was a lazy slacker for not deriving happiness from work, and yes it seemed deeper than just simply not finding the right job. I'm simply at a place in my life right now where other things make me so much happier. And realizing that's okay, and understanding the sources of why I thought it may not have been, is deeply impactful. And I love your points 1 and 2 in your comment above, so so true. And yeah I have no idea why we're all so judgmental, why is it to hard to just accept people for finding their own sources of happiness? Thanks for talking about this. Thanks for having an itchy left ear.

Re: Ethical Eating: Our Endangered Food Supply Chain

This is a great commentary on a piece of buying organic that is often missing: the farmers. So often consumers think about their health and that of the planet when reaching for something organic, but the role of the farmers has been in the shadow until recently. It is also important to buy organic to protect the health of those who grow our food! And ensure that it was produced responsibilty and that they were given a fair wage. Thanks to Stephen for highlighting this.

Thanks for the video Stephen! Your context in what is happening is great too, but seeing it with one's own eyes (like you did years ago) is so powerful. I agree, I applaud treehugger so that this information can be shared, along with you sir!
