April 16 at 9:52 PMI'm mostly focusing on reducing my plastic consumption. For about a week to a week and a half, I was virtually plastic free (in terms of buying and using). I caved one day when I needed an energy boost during a late night and bought a Naked juice drink. That caused a bit of a snowball effect...So I'm starting fresh today (Wed, April 17)!

April 16 at 5:01 AMI was surprised that tidal energy isn't used more! There are definite drawbacks, but those seem to be similar to the drawbacks of wind turbines, with the exception of being underwater.

It seems like the biggest advantages of silvopasture are 1) being able to keep the landscape similar to how it was, with trees and native plants- biodiversity (as opposed to clear-cutting the area to create pasture) and 2) being able to use existing (or planted) trees to sequester carbon from the atmosphere! (which is not...

April 4 at 10:24 AMI biked to the grocery store and back today. While the ride itself was enjoyable, I forwent buying eggs as I was not confident I'd be able to make it back to my apartment with them intact. I also think I will have to go shopping again sooner, as I can only carry so much in my backpack.
