Bumper sticker
November 7, 2008
My dear friend Carolyn Strauss from Slowlab gifted me up a family heirloom! Now I don’t actually own a bumper, nor do I remember how to drive one, but I sure am going to hop on my bike and find a frame for this artifactual finger wag from the Old Country, a quote from American agrarian Wendell Berry.
-
Short biography of Wendell Berry, an American man of letters, academic, cultural and economic critic, and farmer.
“According to Berry, the good life includes sustainable agriculture, appropriate technologies, healthy rural communities, connection to place, the pleasures of good food, husbandry, good work, local economics, the miracle of life, fidelity, frugality, reverence, and the interconnectedness of life. The threats Berry finds to this good life include: industrial farming and the industrialization of life, ignorance, hubris, greed, violence against others and against the natural world, the eroding topsoil in the United States, global economics, and environmental destruction.”
