this was one of my favorite parts of braiding sweetgrass! one thing i think a lot about in this vein is maintenance. we have a very throwaway culture and i think maintenance is a way to kind of regain our appreciation for what we have while also making sure we don't throw away as much stuff. thanks for writing and sharing!

yesssss! It's something im trying to do a lot more in my life, and learning the skills to do so e.g. sewing, mending.
Fascinating fact that we could live off the same amount of energy as the 1960's! Reassuring !

Such a well-written and thought-provoking post!
Thanks so much, Astrid. I'm the same, it's a slow process but super beenficial to learn. xxxx
