The first invasive species we brought to the southwest was Homo sapiens and it keeps getting worse. I want to do right but I think I need to find some way to prioritize how I respond to all of the things I'm doing to destroy the planet. All the writing about environmental damage is just "good" or "bad" which makes it hard to choose our battles. Should you dig up the bamboo first or start showering only once a week? Should you build a bicycle trailer to hold your drum set (or accordion) so you can bike to gigs or should you stop eating beef? Grumpy but still hopeful for the future.
You're free to choose how to deal with your own internal demons and battles, of course. This missive was meant in the spirit of sharing information that perhaps was not previously known to the readers. Now I think I'll go and ponder the horrible environmental damage that is caused by the creation of the mastic and grout I use for mosaics...and the trees felled to make the sticks I use to play tubs for a living. And please, do shower.

I didn't mean to imply criticism of your post. Yes, the demons and battles are my own.
Ha! I didn't take it that way, but criticism, opposing viewpoints, are all A-OK. From one grump to another...
