Interests Creating art from things that would otherwise end up in a landfill (painting, sculpting, jewelry, mosaic...) Songwriting. Snowshoeing. Freediving and finding cool stuff underwater and on the beach. Animals, who, by the way, are much smarter than we are. Sure, they sniff each others butts, but they generally do NOT engage in repetitive destructive habits that ultimately lead to the ruin and end of their own lives and/or environment. *Except for whales, who beach themselves. But WE probably had something to do with THAT, too. The Exxon Valdese probably didn't help.
