If I knew what I know now...

As usual I've been busy, but have neglected to tell you any of my thoughts, accomplishments,etc. 

To resalivate (hey that's not a word!) your palate of Ecoboy-shenanigan-knowledge let's begin with a short piece of writing I was required to do in WISE last monday. 

The question--- What did you not know in September that you know now?

The answer---
 I like reading more than writing. Moreover if it was up to me I wouldn't write anything; I would direct people to things already written, works much better than a sloppy teenager could manifest.

I know bundles of new facts,stats, and figures, such as--- The EROEI (Energy Returned On Energy Invested, i'll talk about it more in my next post) of oil in 1930 was 100:1 and now it is as low as 11:1 in the U.S. (20:1 globally). Let's see what else... according to one book I read-- 98 tons of ancient algae matter is compacted into 1 gallon of oil. Last one-- it is legal to put ground-up euthanized cats and dogs into cow feed. The FDA says you can feed a herbivore man's best friend, but they don't have the power to recall food, what a trip.

It has come to my attention that senioritis is a farce; contrary to popular belief it is the placebo of laziness.  Unfortunately my case is so far progressed the doctors say i'm surely a goner. 
Sometimes you've got to just do it! it being work.

I've found a word that's much more fitting than "sustainable", it's  "resilience!" 

I know that eating local in winter as a student is nearly impossible. 
I've learned that holding a camera while walking produces a video clip that makes the audience dizzy.
Time flies, but only if I let it.

I know that you create your outcome by the way you perceive yourself.
