This is a place for you to talk about things you've been working on, projects that you think are cool, things that you're doing and etc. I'm hopeful that seeing people's cool projects and efforts can be inspiring to the rest of us!

I've been trying to find clothing made in my overdeveloped country. Though the only textile we make here is wool, maybe linen, it's a way to support labour practices that are not sweatshops.

Still learning more names of species that live here. I'm starting to spot some trees quicker. ID'd all the trees around my apartment.

Edit: also found local farms to get a good chunk of produce from. Food miles don't matter as much as people believe, but strong rural economies do: less likely to turn into exurbs, and less of my money going to supermarket extortionists.
