Marcia is talking about having a 100 mile diet BBQ on Earth Day which I think is an excellent idea and great way to test out how well we can eat when we have to watch where we shop. Makes me excited to start living a more sustainable lifestyle.
We talked about looking into buying a place in Clearwater, MB and building a sustainable house (wind/solar energy, large garden, etc) that we could commute to on the weekends & for vacations. Kind of abit hypocritical since to commute we would be using fuel and polluting the environment but if we get a green car (hybrid or something that runs on a renewable energy source) it wouldn't be as bad, especially when car pooling. It would be fun.
We are also planning on landscaping our yard and renovation the outside of the house this spring. I want it to be a place thats inviting for company so that we can entertain outside with out being ashamed but at the same time not cost us a fortune. Apparently Marcia and Davide what to come up with a log book that would track each of our contributions in an hourly format since they feel I didn't contribute at all last year. Annoying but I'm not going to make a fuss. I've learnt that we apparently don't see eye to eye on everything and that it isn't worth arguing about. Also this way it covers my butt when I DO do stuff and they can't turn around say I don't because they didn't see me do it. The idea is if we put the work in now on mantaining a nice yard/house we will profit from it when we finally sell or at least refinance in a few years.
