We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate | Michael Grunwald

pick

Low pick. A ton of information/explanation, and I feel I have a better handle on a really tangled subject. There are lots of people to keep straight, and lots of no-real-solutions. BUT - I don‘t have any idea where I should go from here, as an individual. Should I be calling my representatives? Making personal changes? Supporting businesses? This reads more as a bio of Tim Searchinger than anything else. Frustrating and kind of disappointing, tbh.

ravenlee I really wish the last chapter and epilogue had been more of a how-to, let‘s do this together feel. Grunwald cautions against Debbie Downerism, but the big takeaway here is that we should and could be doing so much, but we aren‘t, and it‘s because our political/economic systems are broken. Which, they are, but what do we do about it? I guess he doesn‘t know either. 2mo

Silent Spring | Rachel Carson

I lived in lofts (literally named The Library Lofts) shortly after the downtown KC library opened with its now famous wall of book spines. My apartment was a mere block away, so needless to say I spent a lot of time there. I have since read a few of the selected books for the display, & they have become favorites, however Rachel Carson's groundbreaking Silent Spring remains on my TBR. #earthy @eggs @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

TheBookHippie Rachel‘s book is dense but I enjoyed it very much. 2mo

TIL — Brandolini‘s Law, or the bullshit asymmetry principle: The energy required to refute misinformation is an order of magnitude larger than the energy required to produce it.

Enjoying the warm temps outside before the season cools down for good. Listening to either squirrels or birds scratching in a very tall tree next to me. Strawberry Acai Refresher by my side.

Starting this one tonight!

TheBookHippie How are you doing? How‘s your mom? 2mo

ravenlee @TheBookHippie thanks for asking - I‘ve got a sick kiddo who hates taking medicine, and I‘m trying to sort out how it impacts our whole week. My mom is doing pretty well. She had the procedure her doctor wanted her to have in the first place but the tumor board overruled him; then he couldn‘t complete the procedure they wanted instead. But there‘s a waiting period of several months before they can determine if it was effective… 2mo

ravenlee …so she‘s waiting on her next PET scan/MRI next month (I think) to find out if it worked. If it didn‘t…well, I think this is the last-ditch effort. It all kind of comes down to the next tests. But she‘s coming to visit next month to see kiddo dance in the Nutcracker, so we‘re focusing on that. 2mo

TheBookHippie @ravenlee sending so much love to you. Keeping you close in my heart. 2mo

ravenlee @TheBookHippie thank you for thinking of us. It means a lot. 2mo

I was picking up a library hold so I decided to check this out again, and found this cookbook that looks interesting. I already have 1.5 library books to read! I need an entire day (weekend…week…) to do nothing but read!

Up next. I hope it's a feel good book.

Tamra I just heard an MPR story that referenced Sigurd Olson. 😁 3mo

Blueberry @Tamra Interesting. I'll try to look it up. 3mo

Tamra It was in reference to MN nature observer writer Helen Hoover. New NF is out about Helen. https://northshorejournal.co/news/author-david-hakensen-on-the-life-of-helen-hoo... 3mo
