(As I mount my portable - recycled - virtual- soapbox)
Few people are lucky enough to even find out what the real "work" is 
that they are to be about.
Few are wise enough to recognize it when life presents it to us.
We are easily distracted, and the distractions lead us far afield from 
our true purpose.
Those in the forefront of seeing that we are destroying the very place 
that sustains out very lives, are of a mind to make every man made 
"product" recyclable.
Nature gets it right, nothing wasted, everything reused.
The Autotrophic plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in 
the process of photosynthesis.
Animals (including puppeteers) inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide 
in the process of breathing.
A simple demonstration of sustainable strategy that can be adapted and 
applied to our own "work".

(Suddenly realizing that up until the middle of the 20th century soap 
boxes were almost universally made of sturdy wood, but that 
contemporary soapboxes are constructed of non-weight supporting 
cardboard, my virtual soap box disappears from my imagination, leaving 
me standing in mid-air, much like Wiley Coyote of animated cartoon 
fame. And after an appropriate Chuck Jones moment of standing on 
nothing, I look down and plunge into a virtual Warner Brothers American 
desert canyon.)
