Why do so many sustainable practices result in beautiful objects? A single-produced, hand-crafted objects... scenes of awe-inspiring nature... living architecture that actually grows, in complex natural patterns... gardens inspired by the natural growing tendencies of plants... the minimalist simplicity of ancient, time-tested, sustainable technologies... The results of our industrialized, efficiency-focused practices pale in comparison to these natural beauties. Whether truly sustainable or not, the results of some of these sustainability experiments and practices ARE TRULY GORGEOUS.

I'm over fifty years old now and don't have any kids, thank God. I ran into some money a while back and now I live in a room around the corner from a cantina I spend my days at in Mazatlan, Mexico. Although I was born in Detroit, Michigan, I've lived and traveled all over the planet - five continents, over thirty countries, and forty-nine states. Through my travels I've reached an unequivocal truth - the earth is dying. Global market capitalism is a disease of consumption, the air and water are polluted beyond repair and the world is warming like a fever to fight the infection of humanity. People talk about sustainable living and they recycle their plastic water bottles or fly around in private jets for concerts to "benefit the environment". Needless to say, these actions do more harm than good and are designed to make the parasites feel better while further infecting their host. Still, I believe the earth's fever will soon kill the infection of humanity, even though the waste products of the human parasite will linger in the planetary host for millennia. This collection shows just a few of the many farcical steps taken by human beings to promote "sustainable" practices.

After my husband and I had our second child, we both decided it would be helpful and beneficial for our children and our sanity to live closer to family members for support. My own parents died a few years earlier and my husband's close knit family all lived in the same community. Unfortunately, that community was outside Dallas, Texas. I always hated Texas, but I decided to put away my biases and keep an open mind for the sake of my family. We moved to Texas even though I remained skeptical, thinking it would be the best thing for our children. Huge mistake! Despite my initial attempts to find positive aspects of Texas, every stereotype I ever had about the state and the majority of its citizens has proven not only to be accurate, but much worse than I possibly could have imagined. This collection of videos describes only some of the many reasons I hate this state. After living here for a couple of years, my husband and I are now taking our children away from this god awful place. After viewing this collection, I'm certain you'll see why.
