too many causes.
i'm reading the book garbology right now and while i'm not over impressed with how it is written, it does contain a lot of interesting information that is really getting me thinking. we are also really giving our lifestyle some thought with regards to diet. and, i guess in a way these things have a direct relationship. garbage is one of those things we don't think much about - but when you consider how much junk (a lot of it that could be reused) is just getting buried in the ground it is a little freaky to think about the long term effects. maybe we should go back to piggeries?
on the food front, we are really trying to eat using local ingredients (which is a lot easier this time of the year). we are also trying to reduce fructuose and decrease consumption (read: not eliminate) of animal products to promote our health. i love me a good burger from time to time, but i do feel that sometimes we eat meat just because that is what we've always done and i think that, for health and sustainability reasons, moving towards a more plant based diet would be a very good thing for us. i've had cereal the past few mornings with almond milk and can't say i miss the dairy. my lunches are always plant derived and we are experimenting with more dinners excluding meat. next up, tofurky dinner at thanksgiving (not really).
anyway, more on that as we work though it i guess.
did a little add-on on my ride home last night. hope to do even more tonight ahead of our road trip. after that, all bets are off for a spell. my legs have been feeling pretty rickety the past few mornings so i'm probably due for a few consecutive recovery days anyway.
happy tuesday.
