When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

The above is a sample of Jim Motavalli's writing. I have vaguely thought I should take more care, be less wasteful and so on. But it's good to have the reasons set out in black and white.
Motavalli is a graduate of the University of Connecticut (which is about 8 miles up the road from me) and will be there April 22 for Earth Day events.
I received a forwarded email about the event from philosophy Prof. Len Krimerman, that says in part:
I think I'm going to check out 'E' and maybe also Motovalli's book and website 'Forward Drive' about energy-conserving vehicles.

So You're an Environmentalist; Why Are You Still Eating Meat?
"...the first discovery of mad cow disease in a Tokyo suburb caused beef prices to plummet in Japan and many people to stop eating meat.
"All this comes at a time when meat consumption is reaching an all-time high around the world, quadrupling in the last 50 years. There are 20 billion head of livestock taking up space on the Earth, more than triple the number of people." [--By Jim Motavalli, E Magazine, 1-3-02 in AlterNet.org]

"...on Earth Day itself, April 22nd, Jim Motavalli will be speaking and meeting with folks at several places in the area. Jim is a UCONN grad from the early 1970s, who, with other likeminded media activists, helped transform (the UConn radio station) WHUS from a "Top 40" station into the diverse, progressive, and richly formatted station it is today. In the late 1980s, Jim co-founded and became the editor of E - The Environmental Magazine, an award-winning publication which has over 100,000 subscribers. He has published 3 books, two on fuel efficient autos and transportation designs, and the other, just released, on Global Warming.
"Jim will be interviewed on WHUS starting at about 1:30, and will discuss his new book, and the realities of global warming, at the UCONN Bookstore at 5PM. At 7PM, he will give a talk, sponsored by the Honors Program, on connecting the environmental, peace, and anti-globalization movements; this event will be held in the Conference Room of the Center for Undergraduate Education (the former School of Business) at UCONN."
I think I'm going to check out 'E' and maybe also Motovalli's book and website 'Forward Drive' about energy-conserving vehicles.
