Every resource I've ever seen about climate change gives the same basic instructions. "Turn down the AC. Get a more fuel efficient car. Buy locally."

We don't have air con. We bus and bike everywhere. We eat vegetarian most of the time, and every lightbulb in the house is compact fluorescent. We patch, repair, reuse and freecycle.

Now what? Where is the environmentalism 201?

*sigh*

I guess I could always write more letters.

Religiously. Anything suitable goes into our backyard compost. Bones, grease and dairy goes into the city compost, which is able to handle it.

OUr city finally starts a compost program that all the non garden compostable stuff can go in next month. I can't wait. (If for no other reason than to hear the stupid people at work complaining about the ickiness of it all).
