H all, By far, the most inspiring environmental news I have heard in over a decade was in an interview yesterday on KPFA Radio's Terra Verde environmental program. In that half hour show they describe a groundbreaking movement arising, right now, to use natural hair mats and oyster mushrooms to holistically clean-up and then compost into harmless organic material, the San Francisco Bay bunker fuel spill. What the program describes is a critical moment in time and human consciousness in which thousands of people have taken their deep frustration with our fossil-fuel/capitalist/war powered planet, and channeled it into a direct counter assault on our global crisis, clearly lighting a new beacon for a non-petroleum based world. listen at: http://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=23320 -- "I am not a liberator.
