i've been reading a book about a pretty unusual fella i think some of u might be interested in. his name is rob greenfield and the book is 'dude making a difference'. in it he recounts adventures encountered as he rode a bamboo bicycle across the usa in less than 3 months a few years ago. it reads like a diary of the trip. emphasized throughout are the great pleasures to be found in nature and simple living, eating healthy organic food, and being extremely eco and environmentally conscious. the author has a very positive outlook on life, has a lot of friends and makes them easily. when he wasn't camping out at night along the road he often stayed with what had been total strangers who lent him hospitality via a website called 'warm showers' that caters to folks like him. he got much if not most of his food along the way out of dumpsters, emphasizing how much perfectly good food gets thrown out in america, and he crossed the whole state of pennsylvania, west to east, without spending a penny. he has his own youtube channel i haven't checked out yet.
