God gives us so few of these exceptional people. We never seem to have them with us for long enough though. I hope his soul is at peace.

So So Sorry, this man was tireless, I think it's pretty easy to understand his feelings. Given the things the current administration is doing insofar-as dismantling all the things that have been really making a difference, it broke not only his heart but his soul too. I can't imagine the pain that goes with something like this, it's simply, unspeakable. My God my heart is breaking for him, and for those that loved and knew him best. I pray he is at peace. RIP David.

I know all too well that a feeling of deep despondency can be hard to overcome, but it's a shame such an intelligent man didn't realize taking his own life would only amount to a brief, and largely political, statement. He was making a significant, long-lasting, environmental & social statement with his composting program, not to mention teaching others to nurture & carry that statement forward. I wish he had figured out it would be a better choice to continue that work.
The odds may seem overwhelming at times, but if we all contribute what we can to solving societies problems, we'll find workable solutions along the way. We'll make friends and promote community.
