Local Ecology: What goes down the drain gets turned out to pasture via toxic sludge
http://localecology.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-goes-down-drain-gets-turned-out-to.html
Spaces and connections, natural and human-made. Sunday, February 03, 2008. What goes down the drain gets turned out to pasture via toxic sludge. What goes down the drain - detergents, personal-care products and discarded and excreted medications - may be out of sight and out of mind, but they are not, unfortunately, out of this world. So sludge and sludge-rich composts, often containing toxic chemicals, are commonly applied to farmland, parks, forests and yards. Given the volume that is consumed, a lot s...

Local Ecology: I Failed the Challenge, or What I Learned From the Eat Local Challenge
http://localecology.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-failed-challenge-or-what-i-learned.html
Spaces and connections, natural and human-made. Sunday, July 13, 2008. I Failed the Challenge, or What I Learned From the Eat Local Challenge. Eating a 100% local diet is just not easy. I tried, but I failed. And I failed for 3 basic reasons. For my lunches I will allow myself to eat sandwiches again. However, I will start making my own peanut butter as soon as I decide which food processor to buy and I will continue buying locally produced cheeses even though they do cost more. Because I love it!

Spaces and connections, natural and human-made. Tuesday, January 01, 2008. RIP: Squeeze the Pulp. Today, a new STP has been unveiled in the form of a wiki rather than a discussion forum. Two "columnists" have been given their own sections of the wiki to moderate. One of those columnists was the most virulent of the angry posters. "We have brought on some of the more controversial posters from the old Pulp as contributors. Each controls their very own slice of the Pulp.". And then there are the definitions.

I don't have anything frozen or canned so I will probably have to learn a lot of new sweet potato recipes. Want to take the challenge? Cook one meal a week with at least 90% local ingredients. Write about it - the triumphs and the challenges. The challenge starts now, or whenever you sign up.
