Everyone should garden

Sometimes when I’m talking to people about sustainability they’re like, “well, not everyone wants to garden” and it’s like, on the one hand I’m sure that’s true because of the diversity of the human experience means that someone out there would hate gardening no matter what.

But on the other hand…. what???? Why would someone NOT want to experience the miracle of life and then have the freshest ingredients possible to cook with??? All while releasing no green house gasses and being super cheap???

Humans have literally lived forever surrounded by plants with cultivating plants as a vital part of how we have lived for thousands of years and you’re telling me that we should stop doing that because some people don’t like to garden??

Gardening isn’t a hobby! It’s a way of life that we all need to be living if we can because our current way of life is unsustainable! Also everyone that can garden should so we can support the people who can’t. Gardening is what made us human and we can’t stop now.

I didn’t do the inktober this year, but I had fun with a tiny house :3 

World's first water park for people with disabilities is literally the coolest thing ever created

A park of inclusion.

When I first saw this headline on Facebook I braced myself to be disappointed. But it sounds like this park was designed really well, consulting the disability rights community, doctors, etc. and keeping in minds the various needs of people with differing disabilities.

Giethoorn in Netherlands has no roads or any modern transportation at all, only canals. Well, and 176 bridges too. Tourists have to leave their cars outside of the village and travel here by foot or boat by. So you can probably imagine how peaceful it is here.

an adorable sign i saw on my morning walk !! 🍅
