My Dream Home

Love this redo of a mid-century home. My kinda space!

Well, this is interesting...

The Philippines has come up with an interesting solution to two problems: deforestation and poverty/food security. While I'm all for creative problem solving and self sufficiency, I must admit that reading this brought to mind Alfred Crosby's book "Ecological Imperialism". Neither coffee nor cacao is indigenous to this area of the globe. Mind you, I have no idea how long they've already been there, so whether they are indigenous or not may be completely beside the point. Now I'm curious, and may have to go and do a little digging to answer that question!

In the meantime, have a read...
