  I pick apples in a park (there are a dozen trees, and no sign that anyone is harvesting them other than me) and make applesauce, with just apples and cinnamon and a little water to keep the bottom from burning. Whatever variety they are, they are very sweet and don't need any added sugars. Throughout the year I eat applesauce, or add it to muffins and such.

  Scooping the poop, and then...

And it's the young generations who will drive them.On On climate nightmares, the Ursula problem, and planning ahead posted 2 years, 2 months ago 4 Responses
