its glorious outside today. truly spring-like. ill attempt to take my 313 notes down to the harbour and study there instead of in mcpherson library, which smells like farts and always depresses me for some reason

I think eating locally is pretty important. If you have some time, check out this article about the Hundred Mile Diet. They say that: For the average American meal (and we assume the average Canadian meal is similar), World Watch reports that the ingredients typically travel between 2,500 and 4,000 kilometres. That is serious bad news for this planet.

totally for sure. i read an article in the paper about an island couple who is doing the 100-mile diet. it would be so easy for this island to be completely self-sustaining, but all the major food chains get their stock from abroad! ridiculous. i definately have to get better informed tho, find out where to shop etc...

farmer's market is a great place to get (cheap) fruits and veggies! A lot of farms and that have very competitive prices because they have to compete with the grocery chains. One thing that's crazy (to me) is all the Washington apples shipped into Canada when we grow so many of our own here.

not to mention the washington ones have a strong tendency to be mysteriously tasteless!

Good for you for taking up your art again! I am trying to get Eric into it as well (I give him weekend art lessons). I feel that art is so therapeutic for the mind and spirit. I hope that it helps!
