Squarehippies.com - Shirtless Male Celebrities The Vertical Farm Project - Agriculture for the 21st Century and Beyond | www.verticalfarm.com The Problem By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. A Potential Solution: Farm Vertically The concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes, a wide variety of herbs, and other produce has been in vogue for some time. It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow most of the crops we now take for granted. Advantages of Vertical Farming

INTRODUCTION TO THE PALEOLITHIC DIET by Dr. Ben Balzer, family physician There are races of people who are all slim, who are stronger and faster than us. The diet is usually referred to as the "Paleolithic Diet" referring to the Paleolithic or Stone Age era. The basic principles of the Paleolithic Diet are so simple that most high school students can understand them. All major dietary components are covered- (i.e. vitamins, fats, protein, fats, carbohydrates, antioxidants and phytosterols etc). For millions of years, humans and their relatives have eaten meat, fish, fowl and the leaves, roots and fruits of many plants. Around 10,000 years ago, an enormous breakthrough was made- a breakthrough that was to change the course of history, and our diet, forever. The cooking of grains, beans and potatoes had an enormous effect on our food intake- perhaps doubling the number of calories that we could obtain from the plant foods in our environment. These advantages made it much easier to store and transport food. · Potatoes · Sugar

Method That Turns Wastelands Green Wins 2010 Buckminster Fuller Challenge Today, the Buckminster Fuller Institute announced the winner of its 2010 Challenge: Allan Savory, who has spent the last 50 years refining and evangelizing for a method of reversing desertification that he calls "holistic management." The African Center for Holistic Management International, an NGO he helped found, will take home a $100,000 grant. The Buckminster Fuller Challenge is meant to award big, sweeping solutions to seemingly intractable problems. As the Institute's executive director, Elizabeth Thompson, tells FastCompany.com, "The approach was pioneered by Fuller. Savory's work fits the bill. But Savory's prescription seems shockingly simple--and it's taken him 50 years of work to convince others that he's not crazy. Surprisingly, that flies in the face of modern wisdom about land management--the typical response is to rest land completely, and livestock are often named as the chief culprits in desertification.

Old School – Self Reliance 101 » Blog Archive » DIY–free, easy, clever Today’s Old School lesson is a hands-on project: how to install a pour spout on a canning jar–great for dry cooking ingredients like sugar. This is the sort of DIY project Grandma could have really gotten into. It’s freeIt uses up things that would otherwise be thrown awayIt’s usefulIt’s easy and only takes a few minutes For this project, all you need is an empty salt carton, a mason canning jar with a screw band, and a sharp knife. Take an empty salt carton. CAREFULLY cut around the top of the carton by inserting a sharp knife straight down and moving around the top. The cut doesn’t need to be perfect and smooth…just do the best you can without drawing blood. Fill a canning jar with some dry, pourable substance like sugar. If you want to use a regular-mouth canning jar, use its lid (not the screwband) to trace a cutting circle onto the top of the salt carton. The Damsel is pretty excited about using this, since she keeps her sugar in a huge bin in the pantry.
