Savvy Vegetarian Blognews and opinion on vegetarian diet and nutrition, vegetarian lifestyle, green living, and environmentSend comments to SV BlogWed, 31 May 2006
Doris D. Haddock, known throughout the country as "Granny D," walked across America in support of campaign reform at the age 90. She turned 96 on January 24, 2006. I just read in Common Dreams, a political speech that she gave at the Heartwood forest conference in West Virginia 0n May 27th. I admired the breadth and depth of understanding, in her profound analysis of the global environmental crisis we face, and our choices. Here's a tidbit: "...the problems of the carbon age are not based on innate self-destructiveness, they are based on addiction, and all the enabling supports of that addiction are unsustainable and are now teetering. We who lose more environmental battles than we win are now about to win the war. We must become ready to keep that victory from turning into a new kind of hell." I don't know if my mind will ever be that clear, farsighted, and sharp, but I definitely want to be 'Granny D' when I grow up. permanent link to this entry |
