It's a slippery slope to focus on the big picture/philosophical mode rather than the here-and-now reality of living pragmatically. I appreciate the long-term benefits of growing our own food and reducing our dependency on imports and their tangential cost in terms of fossil fuels and quality, but I need to know HOW and WHAT to plant right now. I value the reduce-recycle-reuse concept but I need better recycling options than the paltry blue box DeKalb County offers (hello - Gwinnett County has gone to the mega-bin recycling/garbage cans with robo trucks picking each up every week). I want to walk to more places, but I must have more time to do it in the midst of work, school, and social commitments.
A Sustainable Dunwoody is a delightful and essential concept for our community. Let's make it a reality!
Donna! I didn't know you and Knitternall were one and the same! What a kick, and small world (soon-to-be-city).
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about our conversation yesterday (and Tracy and I had one of the MOST FUN bike rides home in the windy leaves! I might as well have been twelve again!)
Anyway--let me know if you want some of my fall veggies seedlings!
Kindred spirits always find each other. You're a breath of energized air!
ReplyDelete"Knitternall" and Pattie: I saw Tracie, all bundled up, heading out on her bike yesterday morning while I was on my way to work. I thought to myself, I wonder what really cool thing she is heading out to experience today--and I was right! Thanks to all 3 of you!
ReplyDeleteWhoo-hoo! Watch the Dunwoody Nature Center website and Sustainable Dunwoody blog for cool new classes and programs coming very soon. (Tracy and Pattie sightings are guaranteed.)
