Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clearly, this means that you should increase your environmental impact for a while so that you're able to cut back. Like, for a week you should take a bath everyday instead of a shower, or you should order some fruit (and, by association, Moose Munch) from Harry and David so that you can give that up.

It's kinda like when people take up eating pie everyday so they can give it up for Lent.

I emailed her before I went on a rampage here (: I am also not happy that she made three lab reports and a major project due all on the same day. I will not sleep tonight, especially since I still have a history paper also due tomorrow.




Problems:
A) I do not think hurting the Earth more for the sake of a lab report is ethical.

B) She didn't tell us that we were going to have to modify our habits when we did the initial lifestyle consumption/waste calculation. I was busy being all third-world orphan showering to prove how environmentally badass I am (though I am not, but definitely in comparison to the class), and now I am (maybe) ********. It will be sad if I get a poor grade when I am one of the greenest kids in the class. If I hadn't used the clothes dryer (damn it!!) I would be number 1. (45,000 Btu compared to others' generally 200,000 Btu in water and electricity alone, woot).

C) Harry and David Moose Much is not vegan. My mother gets it, so I know, and I was sad. But then there is the vegan equivalent somewhere in the world, and I cried for joy.



I am far from it. Sainthood requires living completely off the grid, producing only compostable or indefinitably reusable waste, also going number 2 outside, and otherwise being entirely self-sustaining, maybe an exception for very local food that I can walk/bike and get.

I would also like to somehow outweigh any negative impact I make by doing something positive, like planting trees or getting my a** on that internship I have access to at the Puget Creek Restoration Society. Protesting clear-cutting by occupying trees. Something.

Also add "no buying first-hand clothes, books, tools, etc. unless I absolutely MUST" to the list of stuff I do. I rock super finds from Goodwill, fools.

Well, ********. My history paper is not going to get written tonight. Screw my EnviSci professor muchly. I'm glad I flamed her a** on the teacher evaluations.

Not even the completely dark chocolate? Or does toffee contain milk? Also, where is the vegan equivalent?

There's always ordering Sweet & Sara vegan marshmallows instead.

You mean, my pagan stuff? Or my wardrobe...?

I was a pagan before I was a full-on treehugger so a lot of my magic stuff is first hand. Exceptions are generally candles I found lying around my mother's house in Texas, free stuff, and stuff nature gave me, like the piece of driftwood I turned into a wand with a carving knife and some leaves and pine cones. I inherited a tarot deck from Tea... and that's about it.



Mmm, maybe? I don't know. I generally just stay away from everything altogether and stick with the pears. Though the pears have been bad in recent years. Bad, H&D.

Now that I think about it... it might be the Moose Much that is vegan and the other stuff my mom eats that is not. I just remember eating something very similar.

And vegan marshmallows are the s**t.

My. God. I just had the worst image of a Swiss Army magical tool. A wand with crystals everywhere, pentacles dangling from it and a Goetia sigil hot glued to the top. All it needed was a pistol grip to be the worst thing in existence.

I would build one, but I'm not sure I could live with myself after creating such an abomination. Or, that I could explain to my family what I was building and why.

Also, don't you have studying to do? I remember you telling us to remind you.
