23.01.2022 Reposted from @brenna_quinlan Gardening as a means to draw down carbon is my current fav reason to get out there...oh, and that you can garden while listening to podcasts! And also that it gets my creative energy flowing so I think up drawing ideas like this one Let me know which other ones I've forgotten...and then let's get outside. A freshly picked rocket leaf is a beautiful thing. #permacultureillustrator #gardeningmemes

19.01.2022 A picture is worth a thousand words... Whos been thinking about making some changes during @plasticfreejuly? Check out www.plasticfreejuly.org for stacks of ideas Repost from @brenna_quinlan It's all about not buying things in the first place. We can consume less when we get our books from the library, our clothes from the op shop, and when we take care of our stuff and repair things when they break. When something has reached the end of its life, repurposing it is muc...h better than relying on the centralised waste collection system to quietly take it 'away'. Away is a place that used to be a forest, a wetland, an ecosystem. It's a place that is now a source of chemical contamination and methane emissions. Away is somewhere we've invented to help us forget about the consequences of our consumerism. It feels good to #choosetorefuse plastics and other items and seek out packaging-free alternatives. That's what #plasticfreejuly is all about.

09.01.2022 New year, new possibilities! Repost from @brenna_quinlan The thing about bad stuff is that it often acts as a catalyst for change. It's also not what happens in life that matters, but how we view what happens that really counts. 2020 was hard. People died, got sick, lost loved ones, lost jobs,couldn't afford the rent, couldn't go to school, cancelled weddings, missed funerals, were stranded overseas, were separated from their loved ones, felt isolation, depression, anxiet...y. Yes, this past year has been very tough. The question now is where to from here? What is the new normal that we will form? How will we emerge from this crisis? It may take a while until covid is behind us, but looking forward there are other huge challenges to face. May this compost of a year bring about a thriving garden, with a little help from us. #2021goals #2020newyear #permacultureillustrator #compostproblems
