Words that could never be so empty...You know, there once was a time where 'Organic' and 'Sustainability' actually meant something. Now it's just like a hollow title people throw around in their speeches just to make themselves sound important. Everywhere you look, there's atleast three people practically screaming at you about organic-ness. No matter what the item even is. Organic tomatoes, organic squash, organic sushi, organic hair-dye, organic toothpaste, fuck man, organic tampons, and even organic condoms.
Yes, I am aware that most of you reading this think I'm just some angst-teen sounding angry and overly-cynical for my age, also probably being the biggest teen polluter and not-care-er of the earth. Well let me assure you, all of which is not true. Living in Ithaca, NY and going to the alternative school of LACS, I'm pretty damn conscious of my egological footprint on this planet. The only reason I bother to post this in a blog is simply because the way these words are tossed around mildly fascinates me. The word sustainability has been stuffed down my throat so many times by now that I'm honestly wondering what the REAL definition of it originally was.
Can words be fads? Is this whole let's-say-the-word-organic-and-sustainability-constantly-instead-of-finding-other-things-because-it-makes-us-sound-hot-and-eco only a thing of the year? Will this, dare I say...Pass? Or, are we all citizens of ithaca doomed to a life of health food and compost lectures? Lord save us all.
Some hung their heads
Their beloved had died
All showered in red
