I want to know why I have no acorns on my deck this fall. None. Not  
one. And I'm not alone.

Concerning helmets, kayaking and kids I took a friends 10 year old  
son out for a little surf training. He was full throttle ready to go  
until I put on my helmet and handed him his. He told me quietly  
helmets were stupid. He's a good kid. I quietly told him firemen and  
army guys wear helmets. He looked a bit glum and let me snap the neck  
strap closed. I set him up to surf in a small wave but he ended up  
broaching and flipped right on his head. I asked him about that  
helmet. He got the point. We tend to learn best through hands on  
experience.

Our carbon footprints may teach us some hands on experience. It may  
teach the next one hundred generations a lot of hands on experience.
