I chose it because I'm a conservationist myself and interested in topics like human-powered transit, homegrowing food crops, and fighting climate change. I personally think that environmental conservation and education are the two most important political issues, because those are the ones that will determine our future. Frustratingly, it's been a rough couple decades policy-wise for both here in the US.

I have had some very interesting conversations and learned a lot about anarchism in my time here, I will say. And while I still think that anarchism as a political philosophy requires a certain amount of naïvety regarding human nature, there's much about it to be admired as well, especially at a hyperlocal scale.
