The bamboo phone is intriguing. I love the idea that it grows after you throw it away.

The Good Human post was really interesting–I think it’s great that one individual would take such a personal risk to reduce his community’s carbon footprint. While the actions of a single individual can be powerful, I think we still really need more public policy changes in this direction.
I’m really fortunate to live on the Bay of Fundy (in Nova Scotia) where tidal power is a possibility en route to becoming a reality. Wind power is possible there too, but there’s a lot of NIMBY-ism where wind farms are concerned.

Yeah, that bamboo phone is so cool.
I think wind farms are kind of cool looking. And, of course looking at a wind farm is a lot nicer than looking at smog. . .

hey, just a side note to people on garlic - it’s ok to make it more palatable! make soup! pickle it! fresh may be “best” but its more important to eat lots of garlic, not how you eat it.
thanks for the tips Allie!

Erikka, that’s a great point. It’s easy to get discouraged when you can’t make yourself do something the “best” possible way, but sometimes its better to do what you can than do nothing at all. Goes for garlic and lots of other things too.
