To me, it's amazing how many people who have an interest in what I write here. While talking to people, so many have been interested, come up with suggestions or ideas. I started this project because I wanted to learn how to live a regular urban life, but within the Planet's bounderies. I don't wanna be part of the problem. I wanna be part of the solution.
22nd of February I initiated a project that'll change me forever. It's been 17 days out of 40, but I've learned so much. Do you know how hard it is to buy food from a food store when you're not using plastic of wrapping? Do you know how hard it is to only eat products produced in Sweden in March?
From time to time, I've had gigantic cravings! I really want that chocolate cake, the Hamburger or Pizza my friends sometimes eat. But I've come to think of it as eating chips:
If you just eat 1 piece, it's impossible not to take another one. But if you wait for a while, say until the morning afterwards, nobody really wants those disgusting chips; the cravings disappeared. That's the way I've experienced my 40 Days of Lent. If I just put up with the cravings for a few days, they all disappear: suddenly I don't want that slice of cheese, that ordered-in Pizza, Exotic fruits that have been shipped from New Zeeland.
I have never learned this much about energi-efficiency, climate-friendly eating and living. In the future, I have so much more knowledge of what to eat, and what to stay away from.
