ewtStill short of fuel in Ontariariarioioio. How would you cope if you couldn't buy fuel for your vehicle? How would you get to and from work? If you run a business, what would happen to it in the event of supplies being disrupted? Get used to thinking about these questions.
Also relevant to Canadia, 9-year-old Canajan citizen held in US detention centre. His parents are not Canajan, see. Anyone know more about what's going on here? Anyone have an address for Canajans to write to about this? Also, is this FBorFW comic a comment on it?
Green Feet will be a sustainable evening of dancing somewhere in North London on Friday, 1st June. You are invited to come along in your finest recycled outfit. I really ought to get around to making that reflective road-cone dress sometime soon... but if not, perhaps some plastic-bag knitting (I've realised that I can spin the plastic bag strips rather than just knitting/crocheting with the strips themselves!) or even just my skirt of recycled silk from charity shops will do.
Trees and crops reclaim desert in Niger. I am getting more pro-tree all the time.
A few people have recently mentioned Earth shoes. See, I'm finding that at the moment I have two pairs of comfortable shoes - one is a pair of MBT trainers I bought last spring, and the other is a pair of . I've just spent a couple of days wearing my sensible Ecco lace-ups, and while my feet don't hurt, my hips and back do; there is support, but virtually no cushioning. But - I can't wear the MBTs and the Crocs all the time, the MBTs are stupidly ugly (and too heavy for summer really) and the Crocs always look like I'm ready for a day at the beach - fine in summer, but not so much in winter. Not really professional enough for teaching or performing! So. I'm considering buying a pair of Earth shoes, next time I have any money, because they do have quite a wide range and they appear to be similar to MBTs in terms of how they work. Something like Allure or Classy would probably be best - adaptable, can basically take the same role as my Ecco shoes were meant to, and would mean I don't have to make a decision between something comfortable (ie not-pain-causing) and something that looks appropriate for the setting. There's also the problem that if I do wear one or two pairs of shoes ALL THE TIME then they wear out much faster, so it's actually better to have more pairs and rotate them.
I'm going to have to have a sort through my existing shoes and boots to decide which ones to keep and/or modify, and which ones to get rid of. I'm wondering if I can get or make some sort of negative-heel insole that could be used with my hiking boots and other shoes. Hmm.

Date: 2007-03-05 02:58 pm (UTC)However being near the centre of a fairly dense town of several millions of people, I suspect I'd not be walking so much, I'd be trying to conserve energy, since there wouldn't be much food with which to replace it. In reality therefore I'd probably have quit town before it got serious.
On the other hand, on the basis that I earn above the average wage, one would assume that either a solution is found before people like me can't afford to eat, or else society has already collapsed, and since my work would be fairly relevant in these circumstances, I imagine I could be persuaded to stick around.
