The FCO Coastguard Icebuildup Metaphor
- 1. Our Home Is Our Ship! March 22, 2009 Copyleft Eric Snyder
- 2. These are pictures taken from the Coast Guard ship Sir William Alexander during the search for “El Loda Cash”, a fishing boat which sank in the Bay of Fundy a few years ago. Heavy ice buildup probably sank El Loda. Watching the ice build up on Sir William Alexander, you can see why. A tragic event... This could happen to YOUR home? Watch, and see how!
- 4. Think of YOUR home as a ship… … a ship just like the coastguard icebreaker shown here... … a vessel on which you make YOUR life journey.
- 5. Just like ice building up on a ship, "stuff" builds up in our ship... our home!
- 6. Wave after wave after wave... it keeps coming. More stuff... building up on our ships!
- 7. Christmas gifts... a huge wave of "stuff" coming on to our ships. More load... heavy buildup.
- 8. Boxing Day sales. Another wave of "stuff"... more load. It just keeps coming... wave after wave after wave... relentlessly...
- 9. Building, building... added burden, load, clutter... non-stop it keeps coming!
- 10. Finally... enough is enough! Enough is TOO MUCH!
- 11. Stop!!!
- 13. Chip it away! Get rid of it! Sell it... give it away... Freecycle it...
- 14. Your home is YOUR ship… … a ship just like that coastguard icebreaker … The vessel on which you make YOUR life journey.
- 15. You travel through time on YOUR ship… … YOUR journey ... YOUR life ... YOUR family’s life ... YOUR trip!
- 16. YOUR “ship” gets weighed down with “ice” on your journey. This next slide shows a junk room in a typical young couple’s house. Out of sight, building up with “ice”.
- 17. 300 sq ft of unwanted, surplus stuff... Household “ice”... junk... The junk gets this large room. The two boys get the smallest bedroom. Something's drastically wrong with this picture!
- 18. Get the Full Circles habit Monitor the non-stop build up on YOUR ship! Chip off the surplus “stuff”– toys, clothes, books, all that other “stuff”. Give it away on Full Circles . Get it out! Don’t let continuously accumulating household “ice” sink your ship. Remember, there are always many folks in your circles – friends, families, neighbours, co-workers – at different stages of their lives who would actually want , welcome , use, and value your discards. Travel lightly… Full Circle …
