Oh dang I missed that. Its 4 ins wide never mind. Sorry. Have a nice day lol

Ok sorry. Will post but I decided i wanted to improve my basket so once I’m done I will post.

Its made from yellowbirch and basswood twine, its my first one this season, I just cut 6 more panels of birch

Earlier in season picked loads of blackberries, grapes, apples pears etc… didn’t post. Had an early deep freeze yesterday. Picked some apples but they had just froze so I made apple butter. Turned out great!

There are many sustainable modes of travel- bikes, walking, river/sailboats, horses etc.
A major issue is that modern society is obsessed with speed. As long as high speeds are considered ideal, demand for finite fossil fuel and mineral resources only increases. I think a conscious transition to lower speed travel is needed.

Many young people might be able to afford land if they try but it’s not like it used to be where you can just buy some cheap land and become a full-time homesteader. I don’t mean to discourage anyone but I do think we need to think outside the box of ownership. Alternatives like ecovillages, communes, gleaning/foraging and traveling activism also have advantages outside the financial realm.

Actually those ones i marked as GD are actually goldrush… which are the best apples evar as long as you don’t have to worry about Cedar apple rust, if you don’t trust me do your own research!

Ok, I get it, I just think some people need to rethink taking travel that is as fast as flights, for granted. I never fly but if you want to be eco friendly and are used to flying  instead of seeing relative slowness as a disadvantage of more eco-friendly options you could learn to enjoy the journey and also rethink longer trips.

Old and feeble people matter. They should be treated honorably and equal to everyone else.

If your lucky and you have a farm, then you maybe could provide housing/work to young people. The thing is. Since most young people can’t afford land anymore* it’s waaay harder for us to get into permaculture. Or we can discuss alternatives to ownership like ecovillages, and encourage activism.
* I don’t mean to discourage anyone this is just my experience. But I think maybe we need to focus less on ownership.
