Day 90: Rik - Hemet, California

About that same time I planted my first organic garden of many to follow. Later I spent three years in South America, including a year in the rainforest, during which time my use of, and very access to, high energy consumption, was severely curtailed.

For the last 12 years I have been driving a truck across country for a living. I have seen more severe weather than I care to remember. And I have seen notable changes in the length of seasons, shifting weather patterns across regions and an enormous apathy from the citizenry in general. You ask about hybrids but what about the sheer number of SUVs, pickup trucks for people who never pick anything up, Hummers for heaven's sake, wave runners and dune buggies to mention but a few. Just starting there would be a great help.
