Monika Miilvee 10/23/2018 1:09 PMSest ühiskonnas on nn äraviskamise kultuur, kus kasutatakse tooteid tagajärgedeta. Mõistsin et tavalises toidupoes pole hea mõte käia, rohkem turutoodangut -

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Forage for My FoodAmongst the motivations for foraging are: a source of food; means of income; connecting with nature; cultural tradition; or transmitting "local ecological knowledge, and a means for stewarding local and native plant populations" (McLain et al. 2012, 13). Which of these would be your chief motivation and why?
Monika Miilvee 10/11/2018 1:01 AMEnda jaoks oleksid connecting with nature ja cultural tradition. Eestlane ja mets - kes neid jõuaks lahuta. Alati on olnud austus metsa vastu ja on soov põlise linnalapsena veeta aega rahulikult looduse keskel. -

Monika Miilvee 10/09/2018 11:00 PMKui kodust välja ei saa, siis ongi natuke raske. Filosoofilisemast aspektist minu jaoks aitab tekitada "siin ja praegu" tunde. -

Monika Miilvee 10/08/2018 5:47 AMPeab leidma viise, kuidas hakkama saada nii vähesega, kui oled harjutnud paljuga. Nägema enda mugavustsoonist kaugemale -

Monika Miilvee 10/07/2018 11:52 PMKeskkonna tegurid ongi just need, mis nö lülitavad sisse meie geneetilised eripärad ja vead, mille tõttu meil löövad välja eri vanuses eri haigused ja mistõttu peab end ümbritseva keskkonna eest hoolitsema -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Find Local Recycling DepotsOur ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?
Monika Miilvee 10/07/2018 11:43 PMVäga raske on leida väikelinnas kohti, mis võtavad vastu erinevat sorti prügi. K.a biojäätmeid!?! Jabur on sõita oma prügiga 20+ km, kuid tundub, et see on Eestis reaalsus.
