Recycling; Oil & Water

Lives Per Gallon; the True Cost of Our Oil Addiction is a new book by Terry Tamminen Island Press

The Last Drop; Confronting the Possibility of a Global Catastrophe, is a recent article on water by Michael Spector for The New Yorker Magazine 10-23-06

In a conversation with artist Christy Rupp, about the truly fabulous work by El Anatsui at David Krut Projects gallery (amazing constructions from bottle caps by this Ghana artist) last night, I mentioned an article and a book that addressed oil & water. She asked for the references and it occurred to me that others may want them also (see above).

The latter article, begins with a description of the same water conditions in New Delhi, India that mesmerized me last Summer in the first Virtual Concerts. The image detail, of water being delivered by truck, to be gathered in plastic pails by residents, is on my site under the Virtual Concerts Schedule of episodes, by Hemant Sreekumarfor from Khoj International there.

So what will it be folks on the almost eve of the elections? Your money or you life? The Jack Benny version is a pause to consider... which has been this administrations byword at all the wrong times: do not pause en route to war or money, echoed by the Chief Justices http://tinyurl.com/yaduag in recent rulings against the EPA's efforts to enforce sanctions of power companies, pause to consider the environment while we despoil our natural resources.
