I came by bike to work during 10 years, I also have a trailer for my daughter, do regular cyclo-tourism, including crossing Scotland and Iceland with tent and bike.
Trust me, I know what a bike can do. But when you just discharge 4 tons of concrete from the delivery truck and noticed you missed a few bags of cement, you really are not motivated to drive 15km with cargo bike.
Dude, do you have any idea if what 5m3 grass, woods and leaves represent in a 700m2 garden, and the time it would require to compost it naturally ?
There is an “organic factory” (don’t know how to translate it) were people can bring their organic waste close to my home. They have big crusher for wood, and several areas to maturate the compost. You can buy premium organic compost for your garden for like 0.1 euros per kg. You can also come with your trailer and take a few tons if you want.
It is also used by townhalk to decorate round about, public PARC, etc…
SimCity 2000 microwave powerplant ?
Definitly yes !
If we could have cheaper maple syrup and Sortilège Whisky here in Europe thanks to trading agreement, that would be great 😃
Mmm’k, I’ll take the bike next time I’ll bring 300kg of concrete from the store…
The problems is not having a car. The problem is taking its car everyday for less than 5km to go to work.
Yes, you can live without any car if you live in a big city (in 30m2 apartment 😝), eat in restaurant, go to cinema, etc… and love this way of living.
But if you want a house, with decent garden, close to nature, then it becomes hard to live without car. Not that you must take your car everyday, I have an electric 50cm3 equivalent bike to go to work.But yeah, when I do the garden and have 3/4m3 of organic waste, it’s hard to evacuate this by bus…
Yes, we have this, but they don’t pick above 1m3. Which is stupid, because for less than 1m3, I put it in my own composter.
