This is a question that continually bothers me. Yesterday I spent all day
at a meeting to deal with issues in the regulation of local organic farming
- drove 150 miles to do it, ate junk food plastic wrapped and microwaved
etc. Friday I did the same thing on GMO issues. The rest of the week
instead of cultivating my garden I was on the phone working for a
children's creative writing charity. Sometimes when I get five minutes I
wonder what the heck I am doing. In order to make the world a better place
I am neglecting the small portion of the world over which I have some
control, using up non renewable resources, feeding my children poisons etc.
How do we get balance in our lives? We've tried dropping out and dropped
back in because that felt so irresponsible.
All suggestions gratefully received
