Ideas

Doing my daily bike commuting I believe I contribute more for the climate, environment and all related stuff than anyone else paying CO2 taxes when traveling by plane or being part of an association and driving the car everyday.

This post relates to honey, sugar and other ingredients you can get both from under develloped countries and your own country.

You can buy honey bio (isn’t all honey bio?, do they grow flowers specially to make honey?) and fair trade that comes from south-america, probably on ships. You can buy, for the same price in Switzerland, honey produced by a little farmer from your region.

With which one do you help better the world? Giving money to ‘south’ countries to improve work conditions but at same time polluting earth with long transportation. Or by buying local products, which supposedly is also ‘fair trade’ for the producer and not polluting the planet?

I vote on the latter option. As much as possible we should retain on local producers and not pollute. At least if the quality is the same.

– I stopped at traffic lights and saw a girl walking a small dog with a lace:

An humanization of dog’s life. Half of the dancers with a lace around the neck being taken by the other half who just do a different dance. “Dog dancers” should fall down as realistic as possible.

Music: none
