  • My first thought was how we apply disposability mentality not just to things and material resources but also to people; to our relationships, our marriages, our families. Unhappy in your marriage? Just toss it out and find someone new. Start a new family. We need to take this kind of "mass compassion" of which she speaks and apply it to our relationships as well.

  • So glad you were born and live among us, that you share your heart, and that you speak out tuth. Blessings and may life give you all you need to arrive as far as your soul wishes. We shall follow! Reposting, sharing and mailing this marvelous monument of consciousness!

  • Beautifully spoken and pasionately felt, it feels so good to know you are sharing the

    earth with me Julia,

  • Oh my goodness she is sooo deep, I am getting goosebumps. Ugh i thought I was passionate! I tip my hat of to this lady. Julia never le the fight die... I will join the Simplicity brigade!

  • While I agree with Ms. Hill's sentiments, it must be realized that every system, whether human or otherwise, generates waste to the system.  What we need to do is try to minimize the waste through re-use and recycling.

  • The Hopi Pueblo is one of the oldest native settlements in America. The Hopi dictionary gives the following definitions:

    Trash: mötsikvu, maspivu.

    Trash container: mötsikyaptatangpi.

    Trash heap: maspitsomo, mötsikyaptsomo.

    waste, definition 3, noun (refuse, garbage): is mötsikvu

    Perhaps those words became part of the Hopi language after European contact.
