Garden growth, Adventure amazing.

Sorry for the lack of structure here. This post was written half on a laptop half cell phone. The photos are from two days ago at the garden. There are definite mistakes I've made thanks to lack of experience. Overall though I'm impressed with how things have come. The potatoes are great, the onions are sweet, and the tomatos are plenty. The second thing i'd like to write about is my feelings of environmental development / resource development. I for quite some time have been in passionate dissagreement with the reckless behaviour of our countries.resource development. And this is a pressing issue to everyone (if its not you're pretty heartless.) I'm going to skip through all the climate change stuff and get to something else. I have been for a while struggling with one question. How do we fight against the way our environment is being attacked. I have decided for me that that means opting out. That means that at every opportunity I chose to do things by means that do not reply on a destructive industry. It gets complicated I can't cut fossil fuel out from my life entirely. I would have to denounce literally everything to do so. So what I try to do then is do only things where the positives heavily out weigh the negatives. Take cycling for example, steel frames, rubber tires and so on. These things come from a destructive industry. But the amount of impact that a bicycle creates is far less then a car, not to mention the on going impact of driving. I might say that the bicycle industry has a low enough impact as to be sustainable, meaning we could continue forever with out exhausting our means of doing so. People often ask me why I work in the coffee industry when I believe what I do. It is for this reason. There are coffee companies that buy only from organic farms, only from farms that grow with diversity in attempts to simulate rainforest. The coffee industry can be destructive but it also doesn't have to be, like all industry. And so we all need start using our own brains, not relying on others. We can all make better choices and there are no reasons good enough not to make them. And so I combat destructiveness by encouraging people to stop the demand for it. As long as we do things that are heavily dependant on it there will be demand for it, and as long as there is demand industry will meet it no matter what they have to do. Industry is not a person, it does not feel or care. So why should we care so much about its feelings. I don't hammer because my hammer is nice I hammer to build something.
