We pulled 4 bags of garbage out of the wash this weekend. It’s a never ending process…

Step 1: clean up the garbage.
The field station has been trashed by folks since the 80’s. Unoccupied here means dumping ground to the folks that dump trash and shoot things. And the dumping continues…
Picking up trash is the thing we do most. 1 contractor bag on Sunday - just from our DRIVEWAY.

❤️❤️❤️ plant those seeds (literal and figurative)
The fantasy that you can engage in one big effective action that will solve & dominate the problem is supremacy resin in the brain.
You’ve been taught that small things don’t matter, that planting seeds doesn’t matter, that people, communities don’t matter
These are the only things that matter.
