Day 250 / 365
Not so long ago, the idea of using something once and tossing it was considered a classless and mindless act. People took much pride in their purchases as they were ones they intended to make last. I myself have scoffed at my parents for continuing to use handkerchiefs as napkin, or for the nose or for the face. I thought they were unhygienic, and I suppose if you don’t wash them they can be, but in terms of keeping your nose from peeling and trees from falling, it’s actually a better choice for the colds of winter.
“if you look at a tree and think of it as a design assignment, it would be like asking you to make something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, provides habitat for hundreds of species, accrues solar energy’s fuels, makes complex sugars and food, changes colours with the seasons, creates microclimates, and self-replicates … but by all means … lets cut it down so we can write on it”.
