"The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life. It’s so easy to make it complex. The solution for a lot of the world’s problems may be to turn around and take a forward step. You can’t just keep trying to make a flawed system work." - Yvon Chouinard (via Signal vs. Noise)
This is from a documentary called 180 South. Check out the trailers (be patient if the links don't work right away).
Also, linked from here, check out the Tin Shed
Having read Chouinard's book, Let My People Go Surfing, and a profile of Tompkins in EcoBarons, I'm really looking forward to watching the film.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the design work in The Tin Shed - curiosity draws you deeper and deeper into the collage.
