Never ending pinewoods on both sides of the road, every now…

Ecotopia zaczęła się w tym roku w Warszawie 14-go czerwca. Gościna Radykalnych Ogródków Działkowych, feministyczny Marsz Godności, spotkanie na Syrenie, budowanie nowej przyczepki rowerowej i ciągnąca się lista spraw do ogarnięcia sprawiła, że zostałyśmy niemal dwa dni dłużej niż planowałyśmy, wyjeżdzając 19-go czerwca.
