]]> Comment on Coming Back from the Compound by Michael Boronowski http://climatecafes.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/coming-back-from-the-compound/#comment-15 Michael Boronowski Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:40:32 +0000 http://climatecafes.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-15 Sounds like a great time! This late-December-holiday I installed a low flow toilet at my mom's place. I'm not an expert on how they work, but they do and they do work well. I often think of how to ruralize my new metropolitan home. Last summer I gardened on my deck, mostly herbs and salady things. This year I'm ready for tomatoes and some more ambitious stuff, but for the life of me I can't convince my strata council that chickens are a cool thing to keep on the 4th floor... Sounds like a great time!

]]> Comment on Green (and Red) Christmas Gifts by Dean at the Star http://climatecafes.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/green-and-red-christams-gifts/#comment-10 Dean at the Star Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:50:40 +0000 http://climatecafes.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/green-and-red-christams-gifts/#comment-10 Hi - I read about this site from the latest relocalization e-newsletter. My wife and I bought no presents or cards for this Christmas. We did get in the car and drive to everyone's house to spend time with people. And the week before we did do a dinner party and invited a few close friends we wouldn't be seeing over Christmas and new years. However this year I want to be more organised. A bigger "lunch-dinner-drop-in-day" made with as much local foods as possible. It is Summer here in Australia so not some much baking. And a lot more finger food and fruits. Plus home brew beer and local wine ;-) But for presents I would like to either make or buy locally made recycled paper cards and do up little coupons for people. Which would be things like cooking their favourite meal. Taking them to the beach or maybe even babysitting while they go out for dinner. Rather than a thing they have to find space for or to keep clean and feel bad about getting rid of at a garage sale in a few years. Spend some time with them or give them some time to do their own thing. Hi - I read about this site from the latest relocalization e-newsletter.
