same great blogger compiled a list of nursing incidents where mamas were harassed, threatened, subjected to humiliation for feeding their children at the breast.
why why why does this still happen?!

breastmilk saves the world!
...okay maybe not exactly, but it is certainly is a less polluting way to feed an infant and toddler!
i loved the title of this ...mammaries for the planet which outlines some of the ways breastfeeding has a carbon neutral footprint!
...a few gems from the article...
"breastfeeding is the ultimate example of an ecologically sound food — it comes to us from the most local source available, is delivered to its consumer without any pollution, and is the first step in a baby’s understanding of nature’s interconnectedness."
"...In their first year, a baby on formula consumes an estimated average of 14,500 ounces of formula. That divides out to more than 60 canisters that are thrown away in a year..."

house for free
it is the ultimate recycling project
a homeowner in ottawa - close to the downtown core is giving away the house she lives in
it doesn't come with land or location
you'll have to move it yourself
which will run about 40k
you have to live within 100km and prove you have land to put it on
but other than that, the house could be yours!
