Thesis writing is kicking into full gear and work on my eco-friendly living guide is progressing very well. I heard that EcoFest in Conway was a great success. There were lots of booths set up and attendees, too. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend because of a prior obligaton, but I am sure I would have had a great time! I know sometimes it is difficult to keep up eco-friendly behaviors. Well, it may not be more difficult, but not recycling, not turning off lights, and driving faster on the interstate might require less effort. In light of this, let me share some of the inspiration I had recently.

This is the Two Pine Landfill in Jacksonville, AR. This is also where NLR takes is trash. I remember when I first started high school, you couldn't even see the dump over the line of trees. Now the landfill towers over the highway next to it. Let's look at another picture.

This picture was taken from the McCain Mall parking lot next to highway 67/167. In the distance, you can see the Two Pike Landfill. This locations is around a mile away and the landfill still towers over its surroundings. That makes me want to recycle, compost, buy in bulk, and try to find any way possible to eiminate waste!
