“On July 1st, up to 70 of California’s 279 state parks may be closed due to budget cuts enacted by the Governor and Legislature. State park closures will erode California’s commitment and legacy to irreplaceable natural, cultural and historic resources. Additionally, closing state parks will impact California’s travel and tourism industry and reduce much-needed revenues for local businesses.”

Ted Talk: Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world

If you have 18 minutes to spare, watch this. I watched it a few days ago and I found it to be extremely interesting, and I’ve thought about it many times since, so I dug it up and watched it again. Personally I never gave a butt about mushrooms, I don’t really like them in my food, and overall I felt that they were kind of creepy. Well this video changed my opinion completely. It gets more interesting as the video goes on, so give it a solid shot. 

Also, I think I might be addicted to TED Talks.
