you mak...Oh Miss meg, what a lovely rednesday post.<br />you make me want to move. <br /><br />I am always told that to live in the country I need to learn how to drive a car, not own and run one but drive one..<br />I have travelled the world over and over and never driven, enough people drive, I have a bike, there are trains and buses, boats, planes and my feet.. always my feet. ( Blessed be the shoemakers)<br /><br />.. I have often questioned, in the face of social adversity, some of the things I do, am I giving up before even starting? Couldn't i just try to fit in? but the more I think about how I do things in terms of the phrase 'environmentally,' it validates my decisions.<br />(In regard to your last post)<br />Giving up red meat -tick<br />Giving up supermarkets-tick<br />Giving up food w chemicals-tick<br />Choosing local produce-tick<br />Giving up new things-hmmm, I am writing on a new computer but my phone et al are second hand.<br /><br />Carrying a basket, owning a balcony worm<br />farm, composting, recycling, buying things in glass<br />-its all about forming habits, creating new routines, I cant tell you in the store how many people say,<br />Oh my bags are in the car!!! but I cant castigate them every time for it, they could be at the supermarket shopping instead of with us.<br /> We are surprisingly so slow moving in a Crazy fast paced world .<br /><br />Not attending by not flying to exhibition as an environmental stand- brilliant,<br />Not flying when the flights are free-even better<br /><br /> but giving up flying all together,<br /> I dont know if I could. <br /><br />Being conscious of how I get about on the planet- tick. but is it enough, probably not.<br /><br /> You guys are inspiring, generous with how you open up your world and for that I praise the internet..perhaps once we would have met traveling somewhere or perhaps because of the travel we have done we met here, like this. <br />You are always a nomad Meg <br />just by the very way you think<br /><br /><br />Happy rednesday .
