I’ve decided that I don’t need this whole site anymore, so this blog is moving! All the archives will be moved to the new location. Check out the new digs here:

The popular applesauce photo tutorial post is now here.
Perhaps a new location will inspire me to update more often! If not, the spring probably will. […]
Kate at the Montreal City Weblog just indicated that perhaps there may be some sort of urban composting/energy creation happening in the future. Unfortunately, both articles to which she links are in French, and I can count the number of languages I understand on one finger.
There is a bill being considered by committee in the Kansas Senate that would make it illegal for dairy producers to label their products as hormone-free. I haven’t really researched it, but on the surface, it certainly seems that this is the work of lobbying by Big Agriculture. The Kansas City Food Circle has two […]
I had an idea this morning that is completely unrealistic yet brilliant in its simplicity. Someone needs to develop technology so that the snow removal equipment can run on SNOW instead of gasoline. Brilliant!
Matt spent the better part of six hours in front of the television last night watching the coverage of the primaries. (”This is way better than the Olympics,” said he.) He switched between three different channels: CBS, CBC (which did a small piece on the MCDC that happened to be shot entirely in Kansas City […]

Sara and her small family spent many months this year touring around the US in a camper running on veggie oil. The girl knows about living in close quarters, a lifestyle that necessitates keeping around […]
Crunchy Chicken has a post about something I’ve never really considered in an eco-friendly way: funerals and burial. I’ve always though cremation was the way to go. Looks like it’s probably less environmentally harmful than traditional burial in a cemetery. Check out the comments; there are some additional links and ideas there too.
On this, the last day of the year, it seems fitting to do a bit of reflection on the year that is about to come to a close. I’ve made quite a few changes this year for the good of the environment. Here are some of the highlights:
I rarely use the clothes dryer anymore. I […]
I just found a cool site that the rest of you Montrealers might enjoy. It’s called SOS Cuisine. I haven’t had a chance to look at everything on it yet, but it looks promising. They have a list of what produce is in season that is updated weekly. Also updated weekly is a list of prices on items at […]
