What are your thoughts?  What would you like to do in your community to make a change?  As I was perusing YT, I came across this video.  It inspired me and reminded me what WE can do and what WE can accomplish if we just make the choice to do so. If we stop relying on corrupt government systems to make amends and do what is right, we can impact our world in the way that is right for us.  I hope you will be inspired as I was to think through the problems you see or experience in your community and use Permaculture ethics & principles to guide you.  --Tess

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
 - manually clean an oven
     - use only water and baking soda

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide:
  - a before picture of the dirty oven
  - an action shot of oven during cleaning with water and baking soda
  - an after picture of clean oven
  - OR a 2-minute video of you doing this

As this is part of the   PEA    for apartment dwellers BB, we inherit an already baked on 'stained' oven.  I feel that to get a "perfectly clean" oven is unreasonable and quite honestly not possible with just hot water & baking soda.  I don't have any scrub brush that is stiff enough to clean it. I can't afford to go get one.  Normally I use foil in the bottom when I am cooking something I know could drip.  But I had run out & the dish spilled over. I cleaned the entire mess made from MY dish.  What you see is what was there when we moved into the apartment.  I feel that my BB should be reconsidered as complete.  Thank you.  --Tess

I like the laid back way she makes her ferments - I wonder if she shares more of that somewhere. It makes sense in a short season to grow for preserving to a certain extent.
Did you see the dough disks hung up in the fermentation kitchen? I wonder if they are stored sourdough starters?

Nancy, I know, I saw so much.  This video was a wonderful documentary, there may be something in the description with a way to contact her.  I am Irish by heart, so her accent was like a familiar lullaby to me.  She  just made me want even more, to be living in Nature, surrounded by Mother Earth's abundance & wisdom.  I can watch this one again & again.  --Tess
