I just got back yesterday from a two and a half week from China. Really interesting and just the "reset button" that I needed for life. The incredibly thick and damaging smog and destroyed history there did get me thinking again about the whole 7th Generation principle.
China is probably my last overseas trip for a while, given the whole carbon footprint thing. But now when I look back at my travel over the past few years, I think what will be great, great, great, great, great, grandkids say about my travel. Was it worth it? Did I make the right decision to use precious fuels just for "fun". It's prompted me that I have to start paying back from my experiences. How has my learnings from other cultures added to my contributions to others. When will I step up and become an architect for a better future.
Step one, introduce squatting while waiting in lines (great for your back and ankles). Step two, embrace democracy and figure out even better systems of governance to promote. Step three, eat more with chopsticks.
