My parents went to the cabin...

Rain and fog make me depressed--but oh, how quickly that gets reversed. My parents went to the cabin last weekend, and this is what they saw. I'm so jealous... what I would give to get away from the 2.4 million people around me. What I would give to spend an entire day not having a harmful impact on the environment.

Today, I have:

• eaten two meals out of disposable containers; only one of which was recyclable
• purchased $40 worth of groceries, all of which will eventually end up in landfills or in sewage treatment plants
• drank a cup of coffee out of a disposable cup
• thrown out three pieces of paper because they were printed crooked
• ridden on a gasoline bus

Maybe not the worst day in history, but I hate that there's so few positive things I can do--other than educate myself, that is. Education is sometimes so futile.

Anyway. Photos.

My dad, standing on the lake.

Also my dad, cutting down a tree that was threatening to fall on the cabin. Gotta love Mountain Pine Beetle.

I wish I was there.
