[SustainableTompkins] ST Community Gathering postponed, weather/roads

[senecajean at aol.com]

I agree completely!!!......the excessive self-indulgences?of people of means in some ways cheat the changes and even sacrifices made by others...not to mention what the positive harm they?do to the most vulnerable, humans and other species alike.?

I didn't mean to pick a fight either.

And I just want to be clear that I wasn't trying to pick a fight over who 
has the best handle on sustainable living. It's not the "choir" that needs 
alerting. It's the many, many people of means who choose sprawl and bigger 
houses, SUVs etc. Making changes would be so easy for them, if they knew 
enough to care.
