For sure. And as you mention, I am not sure if it is good enough and quick enough; consumerism is changing the very nature of our existence. It is so normalised for some people that any alternatives is so far beyond their minds that it is unthinkable. I am always reminded by the philosopher Slavoj Zizek that said on one of his book covers, it is easier for western minds to think about the end of the world than the end of capitalism (and in our case, consumerism).

Sort: ย 

Yes, it is almost fully unthinkable for some.
That a good one. He is so right!

Sadly even with everything happening around us, some people still decide willingly and consciously to turn a blind eye. Consumerism has them totally consumed.

It wonโ€™t change in our lifetimeโ€ฆ sadly.
We just have to see what happens and do our best to contribute towards the good a bit more every day ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sadly, it seems to be the case. So many people are blinded by the system we live in. It is really sad.

Sadly it is.

I went out into the garden today and forest.
Luckily some veggies survived me being away a lot lately, so I could harvest quite a bit. I also found some chanterelles in the wood.
Still no red tomato, but there are loads of green cherry tomatoes. I hope they ripenโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Oh, that is a win! I arrived home yesterday as well, and my garden was overgrown with chick weed and others. When they are trimmed, I love them, but when they take over the garden, it is not so good. So, I am getting my hands dirty to pull out all of these unwanted plants, but it feels like I am starting over. But that is also fun!

Oh weedsโ€ฆ they come quickly when we are gone.
Still working on it to get it all under control again. SoI fully understand.
The night temperatures are dropping drastically already. End of the week it goes at night down to 2 degreesโ€ฆ not sure what the veggies will do now.

After yet another week, the temperatures are probably even worse now? I have managed to get some of my weeds under control, but not much success in other parts of the garden. I hope that at least some of your plants survive!
