This morning I got an email to remind me to remove my writer’s block and start thinking about what I’m going to post about the environment for Blog Action Day. Since I’m a procrastinator I decided to take one of their quizzes rather than get working on my contribution for next week.

Greed: -4
You’re not in this for the money, for you blogging is all about the passion! Sure you might make a little pocket change now and again, but you know that it’s the content, the audience and the people that are what makes blogging great!

Experience: 2
You’ve been blogging since Nick Denton was in diapers. When it comes to blogging experience, you are the authority on blogging. Heck you probably even have a blog where you give advice about blogging!

Sociability: -2
Social media, other bloggers, networks and all that jazz don’t really interest you. You have enough friends in the real world, you don’t need more. You blog because you want to express yourself not to meet bloggers!

One and three aren’t too surprising but I’d hardly call myself an authority on blogging since this is more a collection of my random thoughts than some long running structured and focused journal on a narrow range of topics.

Anyway, I’m thinking of collecting my thoughts about the issues regarding land development, in particular sustainability with regards to resource use and long term economic growth. If you have read my ramblings over the past years or been unfortunate to be caught in one of my meat space temper tantrums you’d know that I am largely opposed to the style of land development that currently grips Southern New England at the moment. The combination of sprawl coupled with towns cutting deals with conglomerations to plop big box style construction and excessive resource footprint housing is, in my world view, a looming disaster. So I think I’ll probably address this topic in a more or less heated and hopefully more structured manner.
