I have been a long. long, long time listener of the DSC and I have to say I have been a fan of nearly everything that it offers up on an almost daily basis.
I am pleased for example to see the recent decline in second life commentary... can't be bothered with another life, too much to get done in first life and not enough time.
I have been hoping as well that the scruncher/folder theme of late would meet a similar descent from popularity. This however doesn't seem to be the case so another course of action needs to be taken.
I do beleive that there is great potential in the power of podcasting to rally people around a great concept/idea and to inspire action. To that end I am hoping to use this new medium to spread a message about a living more environmentally sensible lifestyle. To you can follow along with this effort here at wiseman.podshow.com, at green.podshow.com or my own site www.besustainable.com
So how do I reconcile my love for the DSC and my dislike of the folder/scruncher commentary?
Simple I offer a challenge to the DSC listeners to make sure that the scrunching and/or folding is not contributing to the destruction of ancient forests (or old growth if you prefer the term).
There are a variety of source of info available on the topic
- kleercut.net
- NDRC
- Forest Friendly 500
So next time you are sitting around on the can, preaparing you folded tickets or scrunched up wad take a minute to consider where that tissue came from
