    I've been thinking about this a lot recently as I've been having to water my gardens a lot and I think I could install a rain water barrel or something.

    Supporting local farmers is something that particularly inspires me. I really believe in the power of community and I think that having a local system of agriculture is one way that strengthens community immensely.

    Biking is a very different and in many ways better experience than driving. When I'm biking I much more aware of my surroundings and the place in general because I'm going slower and I see more things.
