JL;DR SUMMARY Jonathan Schorsch, founder of the Green Sabbath Project, advocates for an environmentally conscious lifestyle akin to observing Shabbat, focusing on rest and disconnecting from technology to benefit the Earth.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
