Eco-Gathering Amuses, Nauseates
Posted by Dave Blount at July 9, 2007 6:38 PM
From a piece on The Columbian entitled "Eco-Gathering Inspires, Educates":
On Saturday, while large-scale Live Earth concerts drew millions across the globe, a few dozen people connected with the planet in a more personal way.
Called "For Love of the Earth," the gathering featured a presentation called "Steps to a Lighter Eco-Footprint" and a role-playing Council of All Beings, designed to honor the spirit of every living thing.
Jon Gieber, of event host People of the Heart, inhabited the spirit of a bear, warning the humans that they've altered natural cycles. "You forget the great Olympic peninsula and the great trees," Gieber, the bear, said. "Do you know why those great trees are there? Because of my poop!"
The Rev. Jayna Gieber, Jon's wife, portrayed a swallow, fluttering her arms as she pleaded for an end to global warming. As if on cue, immature swallows in a nearby nest box began to stir, and an adult bird made circles overhead to bring them food.
You don't know whether to laugh or barf.
