Because I doubled my sweets intake, crazy me, so I walked 17 instead of my standard 8km (not miles 😁) today. The really smart thing to do, eat no sweets and walk the same amount, too. I know it, but I’m not there yet.

The weather was most of the day quite beautiful again. A guy who plant’s trees gifted me a few. I asked him about his honest opinion, if this wouldn’t be a commercial setup, what he would plant if he can freely choose and his answer was straight forward, it would only be hard woods, instead of all the spruce (mono culture) the land is flooded with here. Because the only reasoning behind “the forestry story” in Ireland is money, not environment unfortunately. Their maybe the occasional “show up hardwood forests” for the press pictures, but the story told is not the truth, as I understand it.

Why still pretending doing something for the environment, that isn’t actually real and useful?

I’m not here doing a blame game, but we need real and working solutions for our kids and future generations. I think so much time is still wasted, because the efforts taken, going in the complete wrong directions.

It is not about doubling efforts, it’s about doing less things with the proper outcome, for a “life worth living” future.
