This article is about seemingly worthless stone buildings built thousands of years ago. But there’s more than meets the eye.

These ancient buildings are home for old souls who went there as a human beings to medidate forever until death.

Few of my friends have been there and felt feelings they can’t describe. It suppose to be so uplifting. One of my friends child actually had a long conversation with one of those souls. This little girl spoke about it so vividly and detailly that nobody could believe it was childs imagination.

Why is this so important? Because through feelings they are passing on information. Information about us and the world we live in.

Here’s a part of article from Yuri Smirnov that explains more.

Aren’t we humans the most curious of all creatures inhabiting this wondrous yet challenging world? We are forever asking questions about our origins and want answers to our never-ending versions of Why? How? Where?and When?

As centuries and millennia have passed as part of the natural cycles of this world, great civilizations have arisen, prospered and disappeared leaving behind more or less preserved ruins of their ancient settlements. More often than not, just a mere fragment of some or other item is left behind in the wake of their existence. Among all the remainders of times past, ritual burial sites have been one of the anthropologist’s most familiar evaluation and interpretation tools. And yet, everything these civilizations left behind for their descendants can really only be represented through those external forms, left for anyone to interpret as they choose. The Egyptian, Mayan or Chinese pyramids, or the countless Dolmens seemingly strewn across the country-sides over large parts of the world, do represent just that - tangible, visual structures of various dimensions and shapes. But is this - along with some preserved writings - really everything that remains for us to cherish from the far-off ancestors of our human race?

No-one can doubt the existence of a past civilization when looking at the evidence of its tangible remains. But an additional question for many has been whether these remains can offer spiritual information or guidance besides their mere tangible, visual enjoyment. Could these forms represent not only material evidence from antiquity for us, but also communicate the immense spiritual experience which - we wonder - might have accumulated during the course of existence of such a civilization?

This article is exploring and reporting such a possible spiritual discovery. Supported by literary evidence and increasingly by archeological discoveries which challenge traditional historical (and especially certain religious) time-lines, notably Michael Cremo’s work, some modern historians and archeologists have put forward a hypothesis that five to ten thousand years ago a great Vedic civilization existed, prospering and flourishing all over the Earth. The great spiritual texts of the Vedas make up but one part of its spiritual heritage. Very few material traces of its existence have been acknowledged by traditional institutions, particularly since all of the assumptions of our recorded human history would need to be re-written. (Also see about Knowledge Filtering in our Forum Section.) Although valiant scientists and researchers, risking their professional reputations and livelihoods, are promising to solve some of the riddles which scientists have been unable to address. There is a hypothesis now that the ubiquitous Dolmens are silent sentinels and an important material representation left behind by this Vedic civilization. These remains might be able to remind us of the existence of a culture which is thought to have flourished as long as 100.000 years ago, even associated by some with the mythological search for the Aryans. (See our article of the Arkaim)

Hundreds of thousands of Dolmens are scattered all over the world. They exist in Germany, France, Spain, England, Holland, Switzerland, Israel, Netherlands, India, and Korea, as well as in the widespread regions of Russia.

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia tells us that Dolmens (also known as cromlechs, antas, Hьnengrдber, Hunebedden, quoits, and portal Dolmens) are a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of three or more upright stones (megaliths) supporting a large flat horizontal capstone (table). Most date, it says, from the early Neolithic period in Britain (4000 BC to 3000 BC).

Scientists still do not agree on the purpose of these megalithic structures. And if they harbor any theories, with a few exceptions, they have not disclosed their theories to us. The most widespread hypotheses are as follows. They are:

  • ritual facilities - such as altars of druids;
  • prehistoric tombs;
  • or astronomical facilities.

The Dolmens found in the South of Russia and in the Northern Caucasus as well as along the coast of the Black Sea, most familiar to this writer, are more frequently in architecturally complete forms, consisting of five or six stone plates and looking like closed stone boxes. You might Imagine four rectangular plates put upright to form the four walls of an enclosure, a fifth lying horizontally as a rooftop and a sixth plate making up the base. As a rule there is an aperture in the front cross-section plate, most often round. They may, however, have a triangular or square opening, sometimes with a stone fuse. The plates are most commonly connected in a groove. The walls of some of the structures are inclined. For many years they were treated as ancient megalithic structures, and more often than not, they were disassembled and the stones used for new construction purposes.

This was the story of the Dolmens as most people would have told it before the year 1997, and for many people, nothing has changed about their idea of these structures. But in that year, Dolmens rose to prominence by way of Vladimir Megre’s Book Two of the popular The Ringing Cedars of Russia series entitled with that same name, with which many of our readers will be familiar. In that second book of the series, published in 1997 (translated into English in 2006) Anastasia talked to Vladimir about the functions of these megalithic Dolmen structures in ways no-one had every even considered. According to Anastasia these sites are much more than just ancient tombs. She explained to Vladimir that they should be directly associated with the living souls of our forefathers and to do so in very literal ways. These ancestors, she said, had undergone severe measures to stay spiritually connected to these structures, so that they could connect with the “Mind of the Universe”. They did this with the purpose of preserving those feelings and images of unity with God and all His creation, she said. Here, according to Vladimir Megre, is what Anastasia wanted her readers to know about them.

She compared the significance of the Egyptian Pyramids with that of the Dolmen structures, but saw the latter as the prototypes of those larger pyramids in terms of their energetic and spiritual significance. She described the Dolmens as much more powerful receivers and points of contact for the Mind of the Universe, and she said they were also much older. The Egyptian pyramids, according to her, functioned similarly, but because of their size, needed more people all around their sides to project, by way of the radiation of their combined thoughts, group energy which would gather at the top of the pyramid. (Might that be the mysterious, un-known function of the “missing” capstone, one might wonder?)

Before we go on to explore some of Anastasia’s amazing descriptions about Dolmens, which she presented to an incredulous Valdimir, it may help to preface her story with her explanation of how she sees the true history of the human race. Anastasia, with her own remote viewing capacity functioning easily through time and space, believes that our race started to degrade from a highly evolved people connected to all powers of Divine Mind to the equivalent of simple-minded dullards about ten thousand years ago. She saw what history describes as evolution, namely such so-called inventions and achievements as stone-axes and the fashioning of spears and other tools as the play-activities of inane and insane “children” who had done the equivalent of dismantling a sophisticated space-ship so as to play with and re-assemble some of its parts, completely unaware of the preciousness and significance of the vessel. In the same way she has described our attempts at space-travel crude and ultimately hopeless and useless. Man, she says, is and has been - as she has proven herself countless times - perfectly able to do all those things him or herself without the man-made contraptions which do nothing but add to the suffering and degradation of Mother Nature and its inhabitants through pollution of all its domains. (See also archeologist Michael Cremo’s book: Human Devolution)

Anastasia further elaborated upon the fact that those of our ancestors who retained their ability to work in unison and as direct expression of Divine Mind, were very concerned about the long-term consequences of this degradation and “fall” of the human race. The few leaders who had retained the connections and powers of their “pristine origins” wanted to help their decedents at a future time, when the planet would have de-volved into the dire condition which they clearly foresaw. By way of diligent meditations, they came upon a most curious solution.

“Vladimir,” she explained upon his asking about the powers of the Dolmens, “living people retreated there to die.” They went into a form of eternal meditation, she said, although the process seemed more complicated, but as often would be the case, she was at a loss for words to describe this unusual process of their “meditating in eternity” by way of this loving sacrifice. It seems that by consciously leaving their bodies, out of loving care for their human brothers and sisters of the future, they affected a form of “tethering” of their living souls to these Dolmen-structures. But more than that, they therewith actually seemed to have succeeded in tethering a connection of the Mind of the Universe, which they still did possess at that time, to these holy stones as well. As a rule, we learn from Anastasia’s explanations, these were Elders of high regard and development and not everyone was granted their request for such a devotional sacrifice.

The person would go inside the chamber and have members of their Kin-group close the stone-slabs and openings completely, she explained, so that they were completely isolated and removed from sensory impressions. By way of such a de-activation of their sensory organs and lack of the distraction of food, they would open up even more to the Mind of the Universe and their understanding of the activities and the future of what she called the “earth-dwellers.” (vladimirmegre.com)

Subsequently, the energy of their Souls, present and forever connected to these stones, was available for those coming thereafter to visit these sacred structures. They could ask anything at all and find answers by way of this pre-fashioned direct “telephone-line” to the intelligence of Universal Mind. This would be helpful until such time that people had re-discovered and re-developed their own powers to function as divine creators again. The spirit of wisdom, Anastasia said, would always be present and available to those wanting to mentally consult with it at those sites. Anastasia, of course, has impressed many, including an astounded and stunned government team, with capacities which represent human functioning never before witnessed on this planet. Nevertheless, humble and simple as she is, she will say with irritation “I am Man,” I am human and normal (vladimirmegre.com). But she has also explained that, by virtue of her unbroken and pristine ancestral lineage, and having existed by herself in the pure outdoor environment of the Siberian Taiga, her amazing yet human capacities were greatly enhanced. (Ed. note: While few of her capacities are unheard of, and have been displayed by advanced humans throughout the planet’s history, to our knowledge there is no human being in recorded history who has displayed them all, and with such ease and integration as has Anastasia.

In the Russian Caucasus mountains, not far from the cities of Gelendzhik, Tuapse, Novorossiysk and Sochi, she told Vladimir, he would find many examples of the Dolmens she described to him, including the one of her foremother, which was there to tell women about the powers of a breast-feeding mother who should know how to transmit the secrets of the Universal Mind straight to her infant child. Since the publication of that book in 1997 and Anastasia’s descriptions of what she felt to be the true powers of the Dolmens, tens of thousands of pilgrims have visited them. People visit there searching for numinous spiritual experiences or for inspirational feelings and revelations. Questions they may have pondered for years suddenly find answers; healings are experienced; creative potential is discovered. Some individuals start singing spontaneously, write poetry and draw wonderful pictures.

So what do they really do, these Dolmens? How can any of these experiences be confirmed?… >>

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ASTRONOMY AND FAITH IN AN INTERVIEW WITH FATHER FUNES, DIRECTOR OF THE VATICAN OBSERVATORY (L’OSSERVATORE ROMANO) — MAY 14, 2008

The extraterrestrial is my brother

“Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.” Cites Dante—the famous verse that closes the last canto of The Inferno—to describe astronomy’s mission. This is above all “giving back to men the just dimension of a small and fragile creature before the incommensurable scenario of billions and billions of galaxies.” And then we discover that we are not the only beings to inhabit the Universe? The hypothesis does not unsettle it much more so. It is possible to believe in God and in extraterrestrials. The existence of other worlds and other life, even more evolved than ours, can be accepted without this interfering in the discussion the faith of creation, the incarnation, the redemption. Words of an astronomer and of a priest. Words of José Gabriel Funes, Director of the Vatican Observatory. Argentinian, 45 years old, Jesuit, from August 2006, Father Funes has the keys to the historical Pontifical Palace of Castel Gandolfo, which Pius XI gave to the Vatican Observatory in 1935. Around one year he gave it back, to receive that of the Basilian monastery situated on the border between the Pontifical Villa and Albano, where the observatory’s study, laboratories and libraries were moved. It brings together courtly and serene styles that from soft detachment of earthly things to whom is used to having eyes turned heavenward. A little bit of a philosopher and a little bit of a researcher like all astronomers. Contemplating the sky is for him the most authentic human act that can be done. Because—he explains to “L’Osservatore Romano”—it enlarges our heart and helps us to get out of so many hells that humanity has created on the earth: violence, war, poverty, oppression.”

LOR: How did the Church’s and Popes’ interest in astronomy come to be?

FUNES: The origins can be traced back to Gregory XIII, who was the artifice of the calendar reform in 1582. Father Cristoforo Clavio, Jesuit of the Collegio Romano, was part of the commission that studied this reform. Between 1700 and 1800, three observatories sprung up by papal initiative. Then in 1891, in a moment of conflict between the church world and the scientific world, Pope Leo XIII wanted to found, or better re-found, the Vatican Observatory. He did it precisely to show that the Church was not against science, but promoted a “true and solid” science, after his own words. The Observatory was therefore born of an essentially apologetic scope, but with the years became part of the dialogue of the Church with the world.

LOR: Does the study of the laws of the Cosmos bring us closer to or farther away from God?

FUNES: Astronomy has a deep human value. It is a science that opens the heart and the mind. It helps us to put our life, our hopes and our problems into right perspective. In this sense—and here I speak as a priest and as a Jesuit—it is also a huge apostolic tool that can bring one closer to God.

LOR: Give us some examples.

FUNES: Sufficient to remember that about thirty craters of the moon are named after ancient Jesuit astronomers. And that a solar system asteroid has been named after my predecessor to the Observatory, Father George Coyne. One could also recall the importance of contributions such as those of Father O’Connell to the individualization of the “green ray” or of Brother Consolmagno to the declassification of Pluto. It goes without saying the work of Father Corbally—vice president of our astronomical center in Tuscon—who has worked with a NASA team on the recent discovery of residual asteroids in the formation of binary star systems.

LOR: Can the Church’s interest in the study of the universe be explained by the fact that astronomy is the only science that has to do with the infinite and therefore with God?

FUNES: To be precise, the universe is not infinite. It is very big, but finite, because it has an age: about 14 billion years, given our most recent findings. And if it has an age, this means that it also has a limit in space. The universe was born in a determined moment and from then is continually expanding.

LOR: From what has it originated?

FUNES: From my perspective, the Big Bang remains the best explanation of the universe’s origin that we have at this point from a scientific standpoint.

LOR: And from there, what happened?

FUNES: For 300,000 years, matter, energy and light remained in a sort of blend. The universe was opaque. Then they were separated. Given that now we live in a transparent universe, we can see light: that of the furthest galaxies, for example, that arrives to us after 11 or 12 billion years. One only has to remember that light travels at 300,000 kilometers per second. And this very limit proves to us that today’s observable universe is not infinite.

LOR: Does the Big Bang theory support or contradict the vision of faith based on the biblical creation account?

FUNES: As an astronomer, I continue to believe that God is the creator of the universe and that we are not the product of chance, but children of a good father, who has a task of love for us. The Bible is not fundamentally a science book. As Dei Verbum emphasizes, it is the book of God’s word addressed to us men. It is a love letter that God wrote to his people, in a language that dates back two or three thousand years. Obviously, at the time, the concept Big Bang was completely strange. Therefore, scientific answers cannot be found in the Bible. In the same way, we do not know if in the more or less near future the Big Bang theory will be surpassed by a more comprehensive explanation of the origin of the universe. Currently, it is the best and is not in contradiction with faith. It is reasonable.

LOR: But Genesis speaks of the earth, of animals, of man and of woman. Does this exclude the possibility of the existence of other worlds or living beings in the universe?

FUNES: From my judgment this possibility exists. Astronomers hold that the universe was formed by 100 billion galaxies, each of them is composed of 100 billion stars. Many of these, or almost all, could have some planets. How could it not be left out that life developed elsewhere? There is a branch of astronomy, astrobiology that precisely studies this aspect and has made much progress in recent years. Examining the light spectrums that come from stars and planets, soon it will be possible to single out elements of their atmosphere—the so-called biomakers—and understand if conditions exist for the birth and development of life. For the rest, life forms could exist in theory, even without oxygen or hydrogen.

LOR: Are we referring also to similar beings to us or more evolved ones?

FUNES: It is possible. Until now we have had no proof. But certainly in a universe so big this hypothesis cannot be excluded.

LOR: And this would not be a problem for our faith?

FUNES: I believe no. As a multiplicity of creatures exist on earth, so there could be other beings, also intelligent, created by God. This does not contrast with our faith because we cannot put limits on the creative freedom of God. To say it with Saint Francis, if we consider earthly creatures as “brother” and “sister,” why cannot we also speak of an “extraterrestrial brother?” It would therefore be a part of creation.

LOR: And what about redemption?

FUNES: We borrow the gospel image of the lost sheep. The pastor leaves the 99 in the herd for go look for the one that is lost. We think that in this universe there can be 100 sheep, corresponding to diverse forms of creatures. We that belong to the human race could be precisely the lost sheep, sinners who have need of a pastor. God was made man in Jesus to save us. In this way, if other intelligent beings existed, it is not said that they would have need of redemption. They could remain in full friendship with their Creator.

LOR: I insist: if they were sinners, would redemption also be possible for them?

FUNES: Jesus has been incarnated once, for everyone. The incarnation is an unique and unrepeatable event. I am therefore sure that they, in some way, would have the possibility to enjoy God’s mercy, as it has been for us men.

LOR: Next year, the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth will be celebrated and the Church returns to confront itself with evolution. Could astronomy offer a contribution to this conflict?

FUNES: As an astronomer I can say from observations of stars of galaxies there emerges a clear evolutive process. This is a scientific fact. Here I also do not see a contradiction between that which we can learn from evolution—providing it does not become an absolute ideology—and our own faith in God. There exist fundamental truths that therefore do not change: God is the creator, there is meaning to creation, we are not children of chance.

LOR: From these foundations, is a dialogue possible with men of science?

FUNES: I would say it is necessary. Faith and science are not irreconcilable. John Paul II said and Benedict XVI has repeated it: faith and reason are the two wings with which the human spirit rises. There is no contradiction between that which we know by means of faith and that which we learn from science. There can be tensions or conflicts, but we should not be afraid. The Church should not fear science and its discoveries.

LOR: As on the contrary happened with Galileo.

FUNES: That was certainly a case which has marked the history of the ecclesial community and of the scientific community. It is useless to negate that the conflict never was. And perhaps in the future there will be similar ones. But I think the moment has arrived to turn the page and look somewhat to the future. This incident has left its wounds. There have been misunderstandings. The Church in some way has recognized her errors. Perhaps she could have done better. But now is the time to heal these wounds. And this can be realized in a context of serene dialogue of collaboration. People need science and faith to help each other in turn, but without betraying the clarity and honesty of their respective positions.

LOR: But then why is this collaboration so difficult today?

FUNES: I believe that one of the problems in the relationship between science and faith is ignorance. On one side, scientists should learn to correctly read the Bible and to understand the truths of our faith. On the other, theologians and Churchmen should get up to date on scientific progress to be able to give efficacious responses to questions that these continually pose. Unfortunately, even in schools and parishes a way to help integrate faith and science is lacking. Catholics often remain stuck at the knowledge of when the catechism was prepared. I believe that this is a true and characteristic challenge from a pastoral point of view.

LOR: In this sense what can the Observatory do?

FUNES: John XXIII said that our mission should be that of explaining the Church to astronomers and astronomy to the Church. We are like a bridge, a small bridge, between the world of science and the Church. Along this bridge, there is one who goes in one direction and one who goes in the other. As Benedict XVI has recommended to us Jesuits in occasion of the last general congregation, we should be men on the cutting edge. I believe the Observatory has this mission: being on the frontier between the world of science and the world of faith, to give testimony that it is possible to believe in God and to be good scientists.

“Paper or plastic?” It seems like it should be an easy choice, but from durability and reusability to life cycle costs, there’s a lot more to each bag than meets the eye.

Paper comes from trees — lots and lots of trees. The trees are found, marked and felled in a process that all too often involves clear-cutting, resulting in massive habitat destruction and long-term ecological damage. It takes approximately three tons of wood chips to make one ton of pulp. The pulp is washed and bleached, and both stages require thousands of gallons of clean water.

If you throw them away, they’ll eventually break down over many, many years. But if you choose to recycle the paper bags, then things get a little tricky. The paper must first be re-pulped, which usually requires a chemical process involving compounds like hydrogen peroxide, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide, which bleach and separate the pulp fibers.

Unlike paper bags, plastic bags are typically made from oil, a non-renewable resource. Plastics are a by-product of the oil-refining process, accounting for about four percent of oil production around the globe. Like paper, plastic can be recycled, but it isn’t simple or easy. Recycling involves essentially re-melting the bags and re-casting the plastic.

According to a life cycle analysis, plastic bags create fewer airborne emissions and require less energy per 10,000 equivalent uses. But paper bags can hold more stuff per bag — anywhere from 50 percent to 400 percent more, depending on how they’re packed, since they hold more volume and are sturdier.

Ultimately, neither paper nor plastic bags are the best choice; choosing reusable canvas bags instead is the way to go. From an energy standpoint, canvas bags are 14 times better than plastic bags and 39 times better than paper bags!

If you buy anything from shop these days, they put it in this little free plastic bag. I always stop the salesperson doing that because I see no reason in it. I can put my item in the pocket or if it’s larger I’ll put it in my backbag. So why pollute the environment if I don’t need to? There is no reason.

If you have plastic bags at home then there’s no need to throw them out. Instead carry one always with you. Here’s a cool little videotutorial how to fold an plastic bag to little triangle

cv.ee is currently the biggest online cv ad site in Estonia. Today I got this newsletter:

Jobvideos

We are surrounded by dark autumn nights, recession, layoffs, murders, school violence…

Let us make Your mood happier >>

For curiosity I clicked. There were 14 youtube videoclips and they all where bad in my opinion.

So, all in all, if life around you sucks, watch funny videos. All day long if needed. Bad good job, cv.ee

I remember watching “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” few years ago where Conan and Chris Rock did a skit called “In the Year 2000″. It was damn hilarious. One thing they said was: “A black man will be elected President of the United States. I’m sorry, that’s in the year 10,000.”

Allthough I knew Barack Obama had great chance of winning, I still thought it will never happen. Not that I didn’t want it to happen. I just thought there’s some mighty evil white power KKK pulling the strings. It’s good the way things went. For now…

I’m waiting for some action like Obama pulling US forces out of Iraq. Now that would make my day year.

Did you ever wonder why the floor under your feet, in the place where you live are covered with a gray material and you can’t see the soil? Why this floor is full of poop? Why are there boxes of metal emitting gases that you must breath? Why you live in high cages, forced to hear the noise of these metal boxes? Why you’re driving them and not using your feet, causing you to eventually have heart attack, if you won’t die earlier from cancer from the gases, or an accident with the fast moving boxes? Why you eat corpses of animals? Why you use pieces of paper entitling you to any value, without which you won’t have nothing, not even food? Why you eat unhealthy food? Why you’re sitting every evening watching a box showing people telling lies, and dirtying your mind? Why do you let yourself be led by fat selfish people caring only about themselves, their money and power, why don’t we really listen to each other, talk to each other, why do we have these hierarchies, in which the stupidiest, incapable ones rule, control and exploit the goodness and capable weaker ones? Why we go about doing wrong immoral things just because we’re being told, why we we’re constantly mad, worried and frustrated with such small trivial things, like a scratch in the mirror of our cars and never see, appreciate and thank the beautiful wonderful life, nature and world that sorrounds and support us? Why we ruin the world, poison ourselves, live in ugliness, support the rich selfish people exploiting us, selling us lies, tobbaco, weapons & arms, killing people with the money that we’re forced to pay them as taxes?

If you haven’t wondered on all this, its because you’re like an ant, small cell in the super-organisma and can’t see beyond your cell’s vision. What you need is to be disconnected, shocked by artists such as Coline Serreau, that have a vision that you don’t have, consciousness, different from that of the ants. such artists, like Jesus & Johann Sebastian Bach, cause the world to change, the super-organism to evolve into something more intelligent, more good for its cells, that are given life.

2 weeks ago I was told that I can take flu and some other shot’s that the company pays for. It’s nice that the our boss takes care of us!

I didn’t take the shots because of my intuition. I know that it sounds crazy but that’s what I have trusted before and I will trust in the future.

I’m interested in the core reasons. Why we need those shots? Why is our immune system so weak? Is flu really so dangerous? To whom?

Today I received a newsletter from Dr. Mercola:

Why Flu Shots For Kids Don’t Work

Two reports this week showed the flu vaccine may not be effective in preventing health problems in children.

One study revealed that flu shots in the past two seasons did not reduce doctor visits or the risk of hospitalization for flu in children age 5 and younger. Another showed that MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (a sometimes fatal drug-resistant bacteria that can accompany the flu), as opposed to the flu itself, is a main contributor to the growing number of child deaths attributed to influenza.

The first study suggested that a reason the vaccine did not prevent children from getting the flu was that the strains in the flu vaccines have mismatched the circulating flu strain in past years.

MRSA is a drug-resistant superbug that can piggyback on the flu and can cause outbreaks of deadly pneumonia. Secondary infections increase the risk of death from the flu more often than the flu itself.

They put mercury in the flu shot? I’m glad I trusted my intuition.

So all in all: get vitamin D, eat healthy, be happy, exercise or just walk more.

I’m on restricted budget til’ my next paycheck on 10′th of November. Me and my girl try to spend not more than 40 EEK on food each day.

Today I needed onions and garlic.

So there I was in Viru Keskus considering my options:

  • Peipsi onion - 34 EEK/kg,
  • Hollandi sibul - 12 EEK/kg,
  • garlic from China ( can’t remember the price but cheap as always).

I immediately put the garlic down thinking: “Why should I pay for thing that some poor children pick and why should I support the transport that pollutes the air?” How big does my green footstep become when I buy stuff from China?

I picked up the Peipsi onion to support Estonian economy and to lessen my green footprint. I know it’s nothing in the big picture but it’s still a step forward, don’t you think? :)
