Eat your planet

I wake most mornings and feel like Marvin the Martian after he blaster the planet out from underneath him. In my case I'm eating the planet out from under me. As a human, and in particular an American, I have the compulsion to always "want more" and the brains and adaptability to always get it. As an American I am programmed to consume and my society "gives" me the fuel and the means to keep consuming more from this dumb, unsustainable Open Loop System. I've seen this for as long as I can remember, and I bet you have too. But man, it's tough to re-program yourself. I applaud those who have.

Here some very smart people have explained the Story of Stuff, and how we can close the loop.
