I am a 3 million mile member with American Airlines and a lifetime Platinum member as a result.

pstarr wrote:Yes, Ibon's cloud forest is a valuable sanctuary for endangered species and even for entire ecosystem as a forest-bridge among clearcuts. It is also a nice personal solution to the inhumanity of the Matrix (if you can afford it) but hardly counts as a blueprint for sustainable living. Most of us don't have access to grazing land or food forests. We live in the suburbs.
