Doing right Quote by Ellen Page
“I went to Oregon to study permaculture and lived in an eco-village for a month outside Eugene. Its called Lost Valley. It was amazing and exactly what I needed. Youre learning how to live in a holistic way with the cycles of the Earth. At one point I was digging goat manure and putting it into a wheelbarrow, and while shovelling it, I just went, Oh, my God, this is exactly what I want to be doing right now.”
