#interstellar #whydowekeepbuyingmorestuff
Saw Interstellar on Saturday - loved it! What a twist, and what a reminder that we are not doing enough to protect this earth. We've got to somehow get to a net-zero impact. There are too many of us living on this non-infinite planet to not do something major right now: save water, save electricity, buy less disposable goods, buy local, drive less, plant more, get outside more. What can I do today to make a smaller impact on this earth?

Perfect flusher
#savewater #greatdesign
Small button for #1 and big button for #2 and I don't know about you but I'm not inclined to use my foot to flush this one, which is perfect. Great design @lavenderandhoneyespresso.com in Pasadena
This as opposed to the green handle flusher that needs to be pulled up (with your hand - ick! or with the top of your foot - ick!) and has been used by me in many airports (yes - with the top of my foot)and has been described in detail by others including here www.portigal.com. I guess if you were quite flexible and had great balance you could turn around and lift it up with the bottom of your right shoe, or facing the toilet bend your left knee out to the side and use the bottom of your left shoe to lift this up but given that most stalls are barely big enough to turn around in I'm guessing you won't do that.

Green roof with chickens (and guinea pigs?)
I love this educational graphic @movoto.com, and I'm wondering if this could be my solution to finding a place to keep chickens? I don't think the coyotes could jump up there. Guinea pigs I would worry about falling off though.
Solar panels on one side and green roof with chickens on the other - perfect.

Two less trash bins to fill
So pleased to have the trash company haul off two of our three trash bins today. We had one green for yard waste, one blue for recycling and one black for the landfill. Since realizing that all three were going into the same trash truck and into the same compartment we've been putting all the trash, recycling and yard waste into one and rarely filling it. Now we have a little more yard space where we can build a bicycle shed!
