Minutae

The detail I hoped to never grow up enough to experience. But this is my reality if I am seriously persuing a sustainable lifestyle. Knowing the plumbing layout provides insight into greywater possibilities; deciding whether to install gas for hot water, I have to think about pipes; to maintain my bicycle I have to learn to make fine adjustments with an allen key; and to make progress with my community garden, it will help me to learn about strata rules. Changing the world, relies on changing our lifestyle, which means changing my attitude about tiny things which I have always hated. But, it's the most important thing I can do.
