This isn't really about "You can only be one of the cool kids if you're at least 89.5% self sufficient." It's more on the line of "Hey, try to grow at least one sad plant in the best way you can manage, it's going to make everything a little better." Back when I only had a balcony I had boxes and bags with sad plants, now I have a garden with happier plants. We learn while our plants keep us company, and maybe one day can apply what we've learned in luckier circumstances. No attempt of caring for life is ever really lost.

By the way, if light conditions where you live are really bad you can always grow mushrooms instead of plants, they are not as demanding as plants.

Or hell, here's a dodgy pro-tip if you are a die-hard bacon fan but can't handle the environmental impact: go for a mealworm farm in a drawer. I promise the buggers taste similar to bacon and are the most sustainable animal protein you can imagine. All they need is food scraps and a dark space where they can crawl around. (Don't let them escape into your kitchen)

mealworm drawer

And people think I'm eccentric with my onion drawer...

A interesting idea though.

I'm sure these drawers can be combined in an ecologically useful way!

Also who are those weirdos having neither an onion nor a mealworm drawer? Whatever is it people keep in their drawers these days, socks? Cutlery?
