“Albert Camus, a great humanist and existentialist voice, pointed out that to commit to a just cause with no hope of success is absurd. But then he also noted that not committing to a just cause is equally absurd. But only one choice offers the possibility for dignity. And dignity matters.”

David Simon, Georgetown commencement address

This is kind of how I feel about my decision to study environmental policy at this point

Raw sprinkles
Ingredients:1 cup raspberries2 oranges, zested2 lemons, zested 2 limes, zestedDirections:Crumble the raspberries into pieces, and zest the lemons, limes, and oranges. Mix everything together, and dehydrate for 6 to 8 hours on 118 degrees. The raspberries should be completely dehydrated, with no moisture left. Pour your mixture into a spice grinder, and pulse a couple times until you have small sprinkle sized pieces of fruit. You’re done! My recipe makes a little under 1/2 a cup, or about 21 teaspoon sized servings. If well dried, the sprinkles should keep in the cupboard for a couple of months.

“We need a collective recognition of the real systemic roots of the problem. The garbage problem will not go away because you or I stop producing garbage. And global warming will not go away because you or I stop using gasoline. Those problems will not go away as long as there is a global industrial system that produces waste and burns gasoline. This isn’t to say we shouldn’t reduce our consumption, but we should do it because it’s the right thing and not because we expect it to topple those in power.” Derrick Jensen and Aric McBay, What We Leave Behind

“People often ask me what sort of a culture I would like to see replace civilization, and I always say that I do not want any culture to replace this one. I want 100,000 cultures to replace it, each one emerging from its own landbase, each one doing what sustainable cultures of all times and all places have done for their landbases: helping the landbase to become stronger, more itself, through their presence.” Derrick Jensen in Endgame, Vol. 2: Resistance, p. 887

And we act as if there are strict and immoveable limits to what is actually bountiful: the financial resources to build the society we need.” Naomi Klein - It’s down to us - the 99% (via anarchoaesthete)
