Earlier this month, the Bleacher Report featured the accomplishments of Atlanta brothers Kyle and Brent Pease, the Kyle Pease Foundation, and the Walking with Kpeasey campaign.
Kyle and Brent are competing in the Wisconsin Iron Man on September 9. Cheer them on, and then come run with them on one of their Atlanta races this fall.
We can’t continue on this planet as we are—it’s not sustainable. My answer is, then, reconnect with the planet. If you’re not sure what to do, go paddle a canoe. Go walk in the forest. Go take your shoes off and feel some dirt beneath your feet. Go sit on the ground. Smell the leaves rotting in the fall.

Many years ago, my sister gave me a short book entitled The Man Who Planted Trees, by Jean Giono. It seems that a few years later, Frédéric Back turned it into a film (30 mins) and won an Academy Award for best short film.
