Robert McGahey 4/24/2018 6:57 AMI am so fortunate to live in a place where the food system has become so readily localized. Almost all of the food-related actions are already part of my lifestyle. On the other hand, living in the country requires lots of commuting. We have 2 Priuses , which just shows that we don't have a good rideshare network. Too busy, and too independent. It can't last, can it? -
Robert McGahey 4/04/2018 12:52 PMHey, it feels good to see how much I have already done along the lines outlined by Drawdown. And I love the challenge to do even more. Maybe we can have the hundredth monkey effect after all (speaking as a pessimist)
