It is a picture of an exhibit in the American Museum of Natural History. I put it in a Powerpoint for a presentation and added some effects to it and ever since then I've used it for my desktop pic and avatar :) Haha, thanks!

I completely agree with you. It seems like so much of the discourse ends up stifling action rather than building momentum. I don't pretend to know what the right answer is, but I know we're going to have to stop getting in our own way if we hope to get anywhere. Also, I love your avatar! Thank you so much for your comment!

I sometimes get frustrated that there is so much needless debate that doesn't get us anywhere and leaves people unable to do anything, even between people in the floaty brigade. I think the real problem for the people on the cruise ship might be that there aren't enough life jackets and seats in life boats. We will see I guess! I really like your analogy!

Off topic from this post, on topic with your blog, I was stunned to find that my grocery bill is almost half of your monthly cost for your whole family. Talk about another compelling reason to go for local, real food, and learn to do more of it myself... Consider me inspired! (Relevant link for my tangent, if anyone is curious: http://www.sustainableeats.com/2009/02/23/how-much-does-it-cost-to-eat-sustainably/) :) Thank you!
