So long as it's voluntary! I doubt that this would work in the West, where everyone assumes that they are going to live for ever.
Everyone should be reminded of this next time someone moans about the way wind power spoils the view or wave power disrupts goldfish migration or hydro-electric power stations don't match the curtains.
Harrumph! Exits stage left, with a political flourish...
I'm a big fan of my home state of Minnesota, especially because all of my kids and grandkids live here. I'm retired but keep busy with puttering, volunteering and writer's groups. I have three well-loved kitties who keep me smiling. I am surrounded by trees and wildlife even though I live within a few miles (as the crow flies) of the state capitol building in downtown St Paul. This keeps me quite contented.

Wow. I love the post and TOW's comment.
I know people like this. Either one of my parents would have been first in line. I like to think I would, too.
Sometimes I think that way at my age of 61 but at 72 it's even more true, what a wonderful gesture.
Wow. That's quite impressive.

Wow! The ultimate social sacrifice. I agree, as long as it's voluntary!!!
