Using regular plates, bowls and mugs in the camp instead of paper.

Today I've taken a step to creating a pocket of change in an area where old mindsets and ways are very much in evidence. what does it matter if we are burning trash and using up a case of paper plates every week. We're buried in the north. What does it matter if we shoot a bear? They are so scrawny and hungry and aggressive up here... In the larger picture, there is a bleed in this country in the various natural resource industry whether it be oil sands in Alberta or diamond mining in Northwest Territories. I wrote a story years ago about the march of technology and change and how it affects our dwelling place. I can't place it here because it's too long to type but I will post it on my website clare.ws . It's called the Seven Sisters and was inspired by a trip I took in Northern BC some years ago where I was utterly enchanted by 7 majestic peaks near Hazelton. They inspired me to write this creation story for our province and someday I hope to publish it as an illustrated book.
