PLA… The Future of a Sustainable Planet

We all need to learn what plastic is. It comes from oil, and goes away like oil… and so it really never goes away. It takes millions of years to create oil and to think it will decompose quickly is merely a short-sighted flaw derived from the demand for cheap products.  Out deep in the … Read more

Lifting the ego

Let-go my Ego

Food… How I love good food. Whether it be pulled chicken & jalapeno tamales with guacamole, or a seaweed miso masterpiece. I love good food and hate crappy food.
