welcome to this edition of when the
00:17
biomass it’s the wind turbine a
00:18
discussion of sustainable living and
00:20
just what does that mean to you and me
00:23
I’m Jay Warmke and I’m Annie Warmke
00:26
with lots of cough drops yes and she is
00:28
sucking down those throat lozenges and
00:30
today we’re gonna talk about opting out
00:33
or I don’t want to play that game no
00:37
more there’s there’s got to be some tune
00:39
that anyway alright so thank goodness
00:42
for not singing I know we’re not gonna
00:44
anyway so so when we talk about opting
00:47
out and and this was something that we
00:49
were discussing getting ready for this
00:51
program and and the first thing that
00:53
came to my mind was was the Luddites you
00:57
know the Luddites yeah but wait I just
00:59
want to say that I I just had told you
01:02
this that I realized after we had this
01:04
discussion for the program that I have
01:07
been trying to opt-out since I was a wee
01:09
girl so I would go we last yes I was a
01:14
wee lassie and my grandma gave me these
01:17
sheets and so I would cover over the
01:18
swing set with the clothes pins clipping
01:21
them together or I would be under the
01:23
picnic table or hide in the woods or up
01:25
in the apple tree anyplace where I felt
01:28
like I could be that people weren’t
01:29
looking at me watching me and I realized
01:33
I’ve carried that with me all my life
01:34
and and so I guess I’ve been opting out
01:38
quite a long time okay but not as long
01:40
as the Luddites I’m gonna go back to the
01:42
leg I know but I’m no Luddite no I and
01:44
sometimes I’ve referred to my selves my
01:46
selves myself as a Luddite both with me
01:52
and and if you’re not familiar with what
01:55
the term the Luddites were back during
01:57
the beginning of the Industrial
01:58
Revolution there was a group of people
02:00
in England that really were they it’s
02:05
grown in mythology but they were the
02:08
anti technology folks the anti
02:11
industrialization people and apparently
02:13
went around smashing up looms and steam
02:17
engines and things like that and and
02:19
like most of these terms unlike most of
02:22
these historical facts they’re not facts
02:26
at all
02:26
and they’re mostly I didn’t even exist
02:29
yeah yeah named after Ned Ludd and Ned
02:32
Ludd didn’t exist and and the Luddites
02:35
did not argue against technology they
02:38
were arguing against the loss of jobs
02:40
basically and and the mechanization and
02:43
the in personalization of the workforce
02:45
so I think most of us at some point in
02:48
our working career our our Luddites I
02:51
mean you know railing against the
02:53
impersonal nature of our of our work but
02:56
when we talk about opting out and and
02:58
for this as its show on sustainability
03:01
we’re really talking more about opting
03:04
out of a lot of the messages that
03:06
society gives us a lot of the things
03:09
that were supposed to be aspiring to and
03:12
as we were discussing this it occurred
03:13
to me that most of what we’re opting out
03:16
against is it comes about because these
03:20
things end up being really really bad
03:23
well they’re done poorly that we’re
03:25
really in a lot of ways protesting the
03:28
not just lack of quality but the misuse
03:31
of materials and the abuse of materials
03:35
as an example of what I’m trying to get
03:37
across when I say it’s done very badly
03:39
for many many years we subscribe to our
03:42
local newspaper and and the newspaper
03:46
was losing circulation and as they lost
03:49
circulation they stopped hiring
03:51
reporters and stuff actually that was
03:56
the death blow but anyway the paper got
03:59
worse and worse and worse and it got
04:02
smaller and more expensive and finally
04:05
we’re like you know what we’re not going
04:08
to take it anymore
04:09
yet the reporting was people are no
04:12
longer reading newspapers and I was
04:14
thinking we would read the newspaper if
04:16
it was good but it’s not going to be
04:19
good it’s just crap and and it seem like
04:23
people aren’t watching television
04:24
anymore well guess what it’s really bad
04:27
you know people aren’t watching it
04:30
because with newspapers and publications
04:33
and with television and movies is that
04:35
people have learned to want something
04:38
instantaneously
04:40
newspapers cannot produce that I mean
04:42
when I was growing up the city that I
04:44
grew up in it had two papers one in the
04:47
morning and one in the evening and it
04:50
can’t you know came like clockwork and
04:52
everybody raced to see what the
04:53
newspaper said and they listened to the
04:55
radio because there were lots of radios
04:57
local radio stations today we can listen
05:00
to the radio station in you know Quito
05:04
Ecuador and if we want to we it’s not
05:08
like when I was a kid where he just had
05:11
one and if he had poor reception they
05:13
had none right so there are better
05:15
alternatives so in order to compete is I
05:19
don’t know no I would I really would
05:22
dispute sometimes there are better
05:24
alternatives if you look at the truth if
05:28
you had a truth meter and you could lay
05:30
that down on some of the publication’s
05:32
but even beyond that just the idea of
05:34
what art is or what is meaningful I
05:37
think there’s a 24/7 mentality that all
05:42
of these programs and all of these
05:44
mediums have to have content and so
05:48
they’re gonna put anything they can on
05:50
it so I I would argue that maybe the
05:52
content and the quality isn’t better but
05:55
you can seek out there’s a story there’s
05:58
a lot more crap out there well there are
06:00
much more opportunity to have an option
06:02
to find one that’s good okay so I’m
06:04
gonna I’m gonna redirect us back to the
06:06
idea of opting out so when we were
06:08
discussing opting out what does what
06:11
does this mean so so we’re laying this
06:13
over the whole idea that oftentimes in
06:16
order to be sustainable in order to be
06:18
rational in order to be a fully formed
06:22
human being
06:23
you must take these messages these
06:25
institutions the society lays in front
06:28
of you and say I don’t want that I want
06:32
to reject that and there are typically
06:36
alternatives so for instance housing
06:40
housing is an alternative we we happen
06:42
to live in that situation where we’ve
06:45
taken we live in a house made out of
06:48
tires a house that’s very self
06:51
sustainable
06:53
you know it’s quite different than the
06:55
norm so we have opted out from
06:57
traditional housing well also housing
07:00
ownership is at its lowest level since
07:03
1965 37% rented in those days and
07:08
one-third today have have no mortgage so
07:13
debt is a huge issue are you thinking
07:15
then that’s a conscious choice or is
07:17
that a no I I don’t I’m not sure how
07:21
much how much freedom people have not to
07:24
be in debt well I what I was talking
07:26
about is owning versus renting because
07:28
the American dream has always been own
07:29
your own home that’s been the I should
07:32
be able to earn a wage so if you earned
07:35
50 less than 15 dollars an hour across
07:38
the United States that does not pay to
07:41
have an apartment it’s not enough money
07:43
so how are you going to buy a house and
07:46
pay for the utilities and all the things
07:48
that go with that even if you had a lot
07:50
of help um I think the majority of
07:52
people are living with other people
07:54
whether its family or with several other
07:58
people near their own age and where they
08:00
rent you know a house or apartments
08:04
together so some of it is is gonna be
08:07
economic but other I know we’ve met some
08:10
some folks particularly younger people
08:13
who are saying I I simply don’t want the
08:15
burden of homeownership I opt out for
08:19
this said they can’t afford it not one
08:22
of those I realize have the money to do
08:24
it I know but there’s they’re saying
08:26
it’s the same as not wanting to own a
08:27
car say I would prefer not to have this
08:32
obligation you know I think that would
08:34
be a viable option of opting out I also
08:38
think people want to connect in certain
08:41
ways and so we see things like
08:43
couchsurfing which is a way to travel
08:45
and stay somewhere for free by signing
08:49
up online and then you can stay in
08:51
somebody’s house and they have an extra
08:53
bedroom or an extra couch or the tiny
08:56
house movement or intentional
08:58
communities we’re seeing a lot more
08:59
intentional communities this is a way
09:02
where people can live not just to have
09:06
the ability to live in a nicer setting
09:08
so that you know you’re free of bedbugs
09:10
or whatever but we need each other
09:12
know people live far from their families
09:15
I think fairly regularly statistics say
09:19
that people on average move every six
09:22
years so so we’re not really living as
09:26
family units but we need each other
09:28
so to live intentionally in a in a house
09:31
with several other people sharing the
09:35
burdens of living there I know there was
09:37
a group that’s formed an intentional
09:40
community and they were older people
09:41
they were retired and they each sold
09:43
their houses and then bought a house
09:44
together and when one of the women got
09:47
cancer they took care of her they they
09:50
cooked for her they actually helped her
09:54
to keep her job she was actually the
09:55
youngest person in the group I think
09:57
there were six of them and they helped
10:00
her with her work I mean she she always
10:02
would say I could have never gotten
10:04
through it if I hadn’t decided to live
10:06
in this intentional community so that’s
10:07
an example of saying okay we’re gonna
10:09
opt out of this myth of the family home
10:14
in the suburbs the post-world War two
10:16
this is the great American success so
10:18
that we can do the lay over the same
10:21
kind of opting out on to for instance
10:23
food right our food systems were
10:27
beginning to see that splintering off in
10:30
a lot of some people would call them
10:32
fads those would be the people who are
10:35
well the food system is gravy has
10:36
totally fallen apart right the
10:38
industrialization of food has
10:40
essentially made it to where the
10:42
mainstream product that’s out there is
10:44
really bad well 11 million people died
10:47
last year from bad diets right which is
10:50
amazing you consider the living cause a
10:52
death is the food that we’re eating that
10:55
more than cigarettes yes uh-huh
10:57
so yes you say so food is when food is
11:01
killing you there is something
11:03
legitimately wrong with the system
11:05
well the real challenge to I think why
11:08
people opt out is because in reality we
11:11
can’t change all those plastic threads
11:13
that are ending up in the waterways and
11:15
the oceans that end up in our fish
11:17
our meat and sometimes even our
11:20
vegetables it’s a real problem so it
11:23
isn’t really a fad to say I reject those
11:25
foods I’m gonna grow my own food or I’m
11:27
going to buy from a farmer I know where
11:30
I’m going to become vegan because they
11:32
don’t want to consume animal products
11:34
that might kill me it’s hard to know I
11:37
mean even as someone like myself who
11:39
grows a lot of food and buys food from
11:42
the farmers market and the farmers
11:44
produce auction and from other local
11:47
people but there is still some things I
11:49
have to get at the grocery like olive
11:52
oil and things like that and I just
11:53
think wow are we gonna survive this so I
11:58
don’t think opting out today means the
12:00
same thing as it did when I was young
12:02
when people were saying you know don’t
12:05
trust anybody over 30 well there was a
12:07
reason not to and I and I would say that
12:10
they were right to say oh my god you’re
12:11
showing your age no but but today I
12:13
would say don’t trust anything that
12:15
comes from the big corporations because
12:18
this is really you know an amazing time
12:22
of having to really plan and think
12:24
things through and and it’s not about
12:27
opting out it’s about opting in and
12:28
saying I want to live and be healthy
12:30
mm-hmm well and another thing on our
12:33
list here when we’re talking about sort
12:36
of the myths of society and like we are
12:38
discussing child rearing child rearing
12:40
is once again we have this perception
12:44
this this myth of mom and dad raising
12:47
happy you know rosy cheek little
12:50
children playing and by the way has not
12:53
been the case since the 1930s oh don’t
12:56
rain on my parade here I wanna so so
12:59
what is the reality what is the reality
13:00
in our system well it’s not two parents
13:03
with two kids that’s for darn sure
13:05
the studies show that 50 percent of 17
13:08
year olds live with their with their
13:11
biological parents so only 50 percent
13:14
where did the other 50 percent the time
13:16
you’re 17 years old you ain’t livin with
13:18
mom and dad you’re living somewhere else
13:20
and or with a you know a divorced family
13:23
or single parent or there’s a whole lot
13:26
of different the myth of mom and dad
13:29
with the little kid
13:30
is truly a myth and if your parents have
13:34
less than a high school education
13:36
29% only 29% live with their parents
13:40
then another one of the big institutions
13:43
which when we talk about opting on this
13:45
is a big one for us is the medical
13:47
establishment because as you’ve told me
13:49
anytime
13:49
I’m moving away from child Oh child I’m
13:52
done with the kids I’m useless all right
13:54
let him put them in a mediocre school
13:57
and let me forget about them so anyway
13:58
so let’s say hope our granddaughter
14:02
never has children after that state so
14:05
the medical the medical industry now you
14:08
you are you are like the poster child of
14:12
rants against the medical establishment
14:14
in fact many times and I’ll put this on
14:17
on the air you’ve told me that if you
14:19
ever got some terminal illness I was to
14:21
walk you out into the woods and prop you
14:24
up against a tree no I think bring me a
14:26
mattress at least want to be comfortable
14:28
and I’ve always said okay could you put
14:30
that in writing because I don’t want to
14:31
get arrested I’ve told everybody who
14:33
would listen so it’s not alternative
14:36
medicine first of all that’s sort of an
14:37
oxymoron it’s really saying I’m gonna
14:40
put my faith in a number of modalities
14:43
that have the potential to help me heal
14:46
okay let me interrupt you there and say
14:48
that you are listening to when the
14:50
biomass hits the wind turbine with Jay
14:52
and Annie Warmke reminding you that it
14:55
is indeed the end of the world as we
14:57
know it and thank God yeah and we we
15:01
always use that tagline because when we
15:03
say it is the end of the world as we
15:05
know it the world as we know it is not
15:07
sustainable and we’re talking about
15:09
opting out of that world as we know it
15:12
medical we I interrupted you in your in
15:15
your rant against the medical assess I
15:17
wasn’t ranting or eating your fat so so
15:21
the thing is I’m not interested in
15:24
anything but healing so I want I know my
15:28
body has the ability to help itself if I
15:31
can find the right modalities to work
15:33
with it the right plants the right food
15:36
the right people the right kind of hugs
15:39
the right kind of nourishment and
15:43
oftentimes the reason
15:44
that I’m having problems is because I’ve
15:46
not done well in one or more of those
15:49
areas so medicine to me is about either
15:53
cutting something out or masking it
15:55
that’s the whole modality of the medical
15:58
model and also apparently of getting
16:00
rich because the average doctor makes
16:03
about 300 thousand dollars per year and
16:06
somehow affords for four years of
16:09
medical school to pay about 250 thousand
16:12
dollars I know when we talk about
16:13
medicine I always have those two
16:15
conflicting thoughts in my mind one is
16:18
that it is immoral to profit from the
16:22
pain and suffering of another human
16:23
being and the medical model is entirely
16:26
based upon profiting by the pain and
16:29
suffering of another human yeah so so
16:32
and I know that there you know there are
16:34
people who are immediately gonna recoil
16:36
from that and go oh I know a good doctor
16:38
my is a wonderful nurse or whatever and
16:43
you go okay yeah yeah well guess what
16:45
you’re stuck in a dysfunctional system
16:47
and there are good people in every
16:49
dysfunctional system but I is and what
16:53
this conversation is about this is about
16:55
saying look we in opting out are saying
16:58
I am saying that my grandparents and
17:02
their parents and their grandparents
17:03
understood how to use a lot of different
17:06
modalities herbal remedies different
17:10
things that they’d learn to do that
17:12
actually are healing and science has
17:14
proven that are really amazing helpful
17:18
things that you can do to help your body
17:20
to heal itself and yes you can see that
17:24
some medical models are actually going
17:26
to things like acupuncture I don’t know
17:30
they don’t like chiropractors I don’t
17:31
know why but they’re they’re looking at
17:34
some of these other kind of things and
17:36
they’re saying hey that might work
17:38
you know it nothing else is working but
17:40
they live in a culture and work in a
17:43
culture it says there’s one model and it
17:45
fits everybody and it’s not true we’re
17:48
all different and everything that’s
17:50
needed to help us heal is going to be
17:52
different for each person we also look
17:54
at every issue in isolation
17:58
independent of all other factors well I
18:00
think that’s true across the board with
18:02
the law with all kinds of things but for
18:05
me again it’s about opting out so I’m
18:08
not going to go to the medical doctor in
18:11
fact I probably would have an anxiety
18:13
attack if I thought that was going to be
18:15
the case I’ve often said if I was in an
18:17
accident some I woke up in one of those
18:19
helicopters I’d keel over because I just
18:22
be thinking $15,000 but I could have
18:25
gone to the chiropractor anyway I’m not
18:28
quite sure that would be the first the
18:31
first stop I don’t know one time I had a
18:34
car accident and I called you and you
18:36
came to get me because the car had to be
18:37
towed it wasn’t my fault and I said off
18:39
to the chiropractor I called maintenance
18:43
okay so we’ve we’ve already dissed the
18:45
medical establishment we’ve dissed okay
18:47
we’re not just king there are points to
18:50
it I mean they can set your broken leg
18:52
and they can cut things out of you that
18:54
probably you want to have cut out but
18:57
the reality is we’re talking about
18:58
opting out and one of the things that
19:00
we’re opting out of is this whole thing
19:02
of I don’t feel well I’m going to run to
19:04
the doctor and get an antibiotic that
19:06
list should be a theme for a song
19:07
somewhere because it’s people are stupid
19:09
doctors are still giving antibiotics for
19:12
cold yeah this is a sin because we need
19:15
the bacteria that’s in that body of ours
19:18
to be there so when you wipe it out with
19:21
antibiotic it better be life and death
19:23
because you’ve now changed the chemistry
19:26
of that person for the rest of their
19:27
life it’s terrible it’s really it should
19:31
be against the law to give antibiotic
19:32
for a cold person needs a new boat so
19:35
they’re going to give you antibiotics
19:38
I’m sorry but it’s terrible so that cats
19:41
can they gave me when I had a sniffy
19:43
nose was was it right irrelevant I have
19:48
no comment gonna have that on that okay
19:50
speaking of media right the media is is
19:56
is a and what brought that to mind is we
20:00
were we were at a restaurant one
20:02
recently and and the of course that was
20:05
during the daytime so every commercial
20:07
that came on the television there was
20:08
about some prescription drug
20:13
you know clear up your acne but of
20:14
course your minutes the show would break
20:16
away and then it would be a series of
20:18
commercials about drug use
20:19
yeah and they and these things the side
20:21
effects are like 50 times worse than the
20:24
thing they’re specially for man but the
20:25
favorite one was there was some
20:27
commercial there where basically the
20:30
talking heads were sitting saying this
20:33
is the most wonderful drug this does
20:34
this this does that and underneath where
20:37
little disclaimers going not a real
20:39
doctor being paid to tell you this this
20:41
doesn’t really do what he says it does
20:43
you know 17 out of 20 of these
20:46
situations don’t apply like really okay
20:51
that’s really getting weird well we
20:54
hadn’t seen to you I hadn’t seen TV for
20:56
maybe a year so that was pretty wild
20:58
anyway let’s move on because okay well
21:01
let’s beat up on that I quickly jumped
21:04
over body piercing and religious beliefs
21:06
cuz because I know that’s that’s a
21:08
minefield I don’t know that I want to
21:09
step into but anyway let’s jump on to
21:12
the media we’ve opted no I think it’s
21:20
probably I’m wondering brought the
21:22
needle at you you’d pass out a morning
21:24
never know what percent that don’t have
21:26
tattoos I always think of the old show
21:29
mash where Charles Emerson Winchester
21:31
said why would you hang art on your body
21:33
that you would never hang on your wall
21:34
you know I thought that was wisdom
21:37
that’s very uppity yes he’s my hero okay
21:44
so let’s talk about media we’re talking
21:46
about you know the decline of newspapers
21:55
making faces over there at Adam through
21:57
the window no I’m laughing cuz we’re
22:00
laughing at you alright so we’ve seen
22:02
the the loss of the decline of
22:05
newspapers I think there’s been a
22:07
general loss of faith in the
22:10
professionalism of the news well they
22:12
just write whatever and I don’t want to
22:15
get into the whole fake news fake news
22:17
because that that’s such a handy little
22:19
thing to just say if I disagree with you
22:22
you’re lying
22:22
but it’s really
22:24
professionalism as a journalist I do you
22:27
learn like didn’t you learn a code of
22:29
journal professionally well I went to
22:31
these Howard hallowed halls here oh how
22:34
you know about the university’s
22:36
journalism school and and actually it
22:38
was funny because at the time they were
22:40
talking about this idea of happy talk
22:41
news you know where the the people who
22:44
were reporting the news actually chatted
22:46
with each other and our professors would
22:49
look down their noses at us and saying
22:51
why would anyone care what a news reader
22:54
feels or is thinking or did on the
22:57
weekend
22:58
that is ridiculous well that’s not
23:01
that’s it right now it’s all about it’s
23:04
all about so it’s you know so far and
23:07
yeah but then there’s also this code of
23:09
being a civil human being like yelling
23:12
and calling names and you know that to
23:15
me is just appalling well but to me it
23:17
comes down to laziness it’s being a
23:23
celebrity it’s lazy reporting yeah you
23:25
know most and and that regardless of
23:29
what size of the side of the issue
23:31
you’re on people have mistaken opinion
23:34
for news and and they’ve mistaken just
23:39
arbitrary thoughts for research you know
23:42
and I guess this show is case in point
23:45
but but it becomes this kind of lazy
23:48
process where they’re not actually
23:52
researching they’re not actually and so
23:53
the so as a result we the consumer feel
23:57
it understand it there are no Walter
23:59
Cronkite’s out there anymore that give
24:01
us this warm and fuzzy well some of it
24:03
as I said is they have to fill content
24:05
24/7 so they’re gonna do it however they
24:08
can that’s the bottom line let’s talk
24:10
about shopping ok go shop because you
24:12
can do that online too
24:13
there’s lots of media around that but
24:15
some of the things that are happening
24:16
around opting out with shopping which i
24:20
think is funny because I’ve done this
24:21
most of my adult life but second-hand
24:23
buying secondhand I know some of my
24:26
friends when I was younger would be like
24:28
alright I’ll go with you to the
24:30
second-hand shop but don’t tell anybody
24:32
that I went there and then they found
24:35
some cool thing and then they were like
24:37
don’t tell
24:38
anybody I’m never gonna wear it when I’m
24:40
with you because you might tell somebody
24:41
that I got it at the second-hand shop
24:44
and I’d be like everything I own came
24:46
from there
24:47
I’m proud the fact that I paid a dollar
24:49
for a $500 dress I don’t I don’t care
24:52
well I’ve never quite understood that
24:53
because I’ve I’ve always had this
24:55
thought that the second I bought
24:57
anything new one second later it was
25:00
used so you’re cheap I’m just yeah so
25:06
I’ve been trying to live more
25:08
sustainably for a long time anyway also
25:11
clothing swaps there I know from the
25:13
ones that I’ve started that some of my
25:15
friends have gone off to other places to
25:17
live and now they have clothing swaps
25:18
there and I think there are all kinds of
25:21
parties around swapping things and
25:22
there’s also retro parties and fix-it
25:25
parties and so people are starting to
25:27
come together around reuse and re
25:31
repurposing and another thing people are
25:33
coalescing around is entertainment so
25:36
spending time creating their own board
25:38
games so we’re playing old-fashioned
25:40
board games or even new board games
25:42
they’re into a lot of retro things and
25:45
having barbecues and making food
25:48
together and all these cool things that
25:50
are really really healthy and they’re
25:52
they’re becoming trends are you thinking
25:54
this is like in direct response to sort
25:57
of the ubiquitous nature of the the
26:00
Internet the the rectangle in your hand
26:03
this kind of ubiquitous bad
26:05
entertainment I don’t know I think
26:07
there’s still a lot of that going on but
26:09
I think that we intuitively knows at
26:12
some level that we’re a tribe and we
26:14
need each other but we got to find ways
26:16
to come back together since we have sort
26:18
of separated ourselves from with phones
26:20
and Netflix and all that kind of stuff
26:23
well speaking of opting out that seems
26:25
to be a thing I mean I hear people
26:27
bragging about it all the time
26:29
I set my phone down and didn’t use it
26:31
for all the time you don’t have
26:35
broadband there and this is so great
26:37
that’s one of the reasons I’d love to be
26:39
here I’m like you could turn your phone
26:40
off any time you want to yeah I always
26:42
marvel at the idea that I was without
26:45
the internet for a day
26:47
therefore it’s like some sort of badge
26:50
of honor
26:51
we’re thinking we need to give some
26:52
little buttons that people can wear
26:54
after they leave from visiting connected
27:01
so so when you if you wanted to sum this
27:04
whole idea of opting out because at some
27:07
point opting out if enough people do it
27:09
then it’s the new thing you know so so
27:12
it’s hard to be a rebel when everybody
27:14
but why do we care about being a rebel
27:16
this is about our hearts and our souls
27:19
and our dreams and our goals directing
27:21
us to do something differently that’s
27:23
what it’s really about it’s not about
27:25
saying you know kiss my butt
27:27
I don’t care about the government or
27:29
whatever it’s about saying I feel I’m
27:32
not going to work 60 hours a week like
27:34
my dad did
27:35
I’m not going to own a home like my
27:36
parents did I don’t want to I don’t want
27:39
to spend my money that way I’d rather
27:40
work less hours and have time to have
27:43
fun with my friends to go skateboarding
27:45
or do yoga or whatever and I think this
27:48
is great I think this is leading us to a
27:51
better place we just need to get there
27:53
more quickly all right well you have
27:55
been listening to when the biomass it’s
27:57
the wind turbine with Jay and Annie Warmke
27:59
we want to thank our producer Adam

28:10
