I've been rereading Freedom of Simplicity by Richard J. Foster this month. It's my favorite book on Christian simplicity. 
​I preordered Fashion Revolution's zine as a Christmas gift for Jo, but then realized that it was more about my interests than Jo's. I bought her The Best American Non-required Reading instead (since she liked last year's edition so much). We can always share.  :)

Two incredible announcements!
Beyond the label.
Another reason to do less recycling rather than more. (That means buying less that needs to be recycled.)
Quilt box.
The first major city to run out of water.
​Repair is a radical act.
"The garbage we generate creates opportunities for everyone."

Hope you are having a productive/relaxing weekend, depending on your intent!  :)

Love,
​Jane

Incredible announcement about the mayor of New York suing the oil companies! But what's the other announcement? The link only takes me to one.

"Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration also is calling for the city’s pension funds to divest from fossil fuel companies over the next five years."

"New York’s goal of eliminating about $5 billion in securities of nearly 200 oil companies, would be among the biggest public pension divestments from fossil fuels to date." via: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-municipals-fossilfuels/new-york-sues-fossil-fuel-majors-plans-divestment-from-pension-funds-idUSKBN1EZ2Q2 . :)

The fashion zine looks so lovely!
The quote "Repair is a radical act." struck me right now. I had to think about human relationships as well that sometimes need repair rather than throwing them out our lives. Thanks for your links!

I love that thought...healing + repairing a relationship can certainly be a radical act. Beautiful.

I have been thinking a lot about Cape Town, those poor people! I am so thankful for my access to water.
