INTO THE WILD

Ron Franz: I'm going to miss you when you go.
Christopher McCandless: I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.
Ron Franz: Yeah. I am going to take stock of that. You know I am. I want to tell you something. From bits and pieces of what you have told me about your family, your mother and your dad... And I know you have problems with the church too... But there is some kind of bigger thing that we can all appreciate and it sounds to me you don't mind calling it God. But when you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines through you.
Christopher McCandless: Holy shit!

GREENAID: CANDY DISPENSERS

Two Los Angeles designers have come up with an innovative way to make seed bombing easy for everyone. They’re retrofitting old candy dispensers so they can dispense seeds packed in nutrient-rich clay.
Their first model is in Los Angeles’s Chinatown and is filled with indigenous plants. They’re hoping that they can expand the program and partner with parks and botanical gardens. At this point, it costs about $500 to retrofit each candy machine, but that price tag would fall if they scale up the program and if the machines prove to be popular they could pay for themselves.
