The health of both mind and body has for generations been negatively effected by the space we occupy, from the degradation of the air we breathe to the abandonment to decay and vandalism of the Cultural and Historic land and buildings around us, mainly in the exploitation for corporate profit.
Activism like every thing else needs to become a process of education, engagement, reward The education we each need for the job in order to engage and the reward for our engagement.

The process is much more subtle than that and its rewards are of a more cathartic nature.
