Easy Action: I feel better, just knowing . . . . Each grocery trip in the next month, throw in a few pounds of dried beans, lentils, peas, peanuts, and other easily-stored protein sources. You'll feel better knowing you could survive for a week or two with just water and your beans, in case of plague/virus, drastic economic disruption, or other systemic collapses. Medium Action: The pizza path to saving energy If you live in an apartment house, negotiate a discount with a locally-owned pizza place that does delivery, to have a 20% discount on deliveries that all happen at the same time: all pizzas to arrive at 7:00, to the same apartment complex. Order by 6:20, delivery at 7. The energy savings would be significant. Serious Action: Carrot steak, rare, please Become a vegetarian. Among the best things to do to decrease the carbon, energy, and other "footprints" is to shift from energy-intensive nutrition to energy-efficient nutrition. Systems Development: Freeganomics We need better tools to enhance "freegan" culture -- not just craigslist, but more like "I have this quart of cricine oil (or this old car battery, or 8 feet of hardware cloth, or this servicable bicycle)... just come get it" -- with an exchange of email as the sine quo non. We have massive surplus, just unevenly distributed, and so much just goes to the dump. |
Balms for the Spirit: Music: Traffic: Low Spark of High Heeled Boys Eminently boppable, cheer-inducing. Poem: Commerce as a vehicle From factory-farmed chicken to old-growth lumber to gas-guzzling cars, many of the things we buy support destructive industries. But businesses, governments, and concerned citizens can harness this same purchasing power to build markets for less-hazardous products, including fair-traded foods, green power, and fuel-cell vehicles. -- Worldwatch Institute "State of the World 2004" report Sites: Addressing the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: Algalita.org The Algalita Marine Research Foundation is dedicated to the protection of the marine environment and its watersheds through research, education, and restoration. |
