“Our Farmers’ Pledge: No Artificial Growth Hormones.”

Dominique — Thu, 17 May 2012 19:38:14 +0000

People around the world depend on agriculture and the hard work of farmers for their most basic needs. With global population expected to grow by 40 percent in the next few decades, agriculture will need to become more productive and more sustainable in order to keep pace with rapidly increasing demands. Many experts agree we will need to grow as much food in the next 50 years as we did in the past 10,000 years combined if we are to sustain our planet. Read more [...]

CHEMTRAILS. WHAT’S UP IN THE SKY?

Dominique — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:40:38 +0000

All what is reported bellow is from: Aircrap.org

I always looked at the sky and it made me feel good, it felt like an uncorrupted part of our universe. Unfortunately, in my research I stumbled upon all sorts of articles about “chemtrails”, I read it and almost fell out of my chair…. I was so confuse and amazed at the same time that I felt the need to present it to you and get your opinion before deciding if this is really happening…could our world be so twisted? Read more [...]

Bees, and Survival of the Human Race.

We decided this time to explain the importance of the Bees in our everyday life. Very few people know what is going on with the world’s bee population and the effect they have on our food supply. So let’s talk about it. Here too we need to restrict our desire of wanting everything to look perfect. We will have to welcome a few weeds and chards, pulling them out of the garden by hand; knowing that this is the way to act from now on to protect our ecosystem. Why? This is why. Common pesticides could be wiping out bee colonies by causing pollen-gathering insects to lose their way home, research suggests. Two studies provide strong evidence that pesticides sprayed on farmers' fields, and used on private gardening ... Read more [...]

PALM OIL: the bigger picture

Dominique — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:33:45 +0000

PALM OIL PLANTATIONS, THE ILLUSION of SUSTAINABILTY…. Environmentalists see the establishment of oil palm plantations as a new threat to the world's largest rainforests and their biodiversity. The potential for palm oil plantations in the Brazilian Amazon is vast: the Woods Hole Research Center estimates that 2.283 million square kilometers (881,000 sq miles) of forest land in the region is suitable for oil palm, an area far greater in extent than that which could be converted for soy (390,000 sq km) or sugar cane (1.988 million sq km). Woods Hole calculates this area of forest locks up some 42.5 billion tons (gigatons) of carbon in aboveground biomass, or roughly six times 2006 global emissions... Read more [...]

Reconceive Environment and Sustainability.

Reconceive Environment and Sustainability. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us, by word and example, that any movement — any culture —will fail if it cannot paint a picture of a world that people will want to go to. As others have said, his speech was not called “I Have a Nightmare.” For decades, our culture has struggled with two addictions, to oil and to despair. It’s pretty clear by now that we can’t kick one of those habits without kicking the other. Yet, for many Americans, perhaps most of us, thinking about the future conjures up images of “Blade Runner,” “Mad Max” or Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”: a post-apocalyptic dystopia stripped of nature. We seem drawn to that flame. It’s a dangerous fixation. Think how children and young people must feel today, growing up in a time when so many adults seem to accept, with a shrug, only darkness ahead... Read more [...]

Humans change the world! What drought are you talking about?

Dominique — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:33:16 +0000
Humans change the world! What drought are you talking about? A drought is a period of unusually persistent dry weather that persists long enough to cause serious problems such as crop damage and or water supply shortages. The severity depends upon the degree of moisture deficiency, the duration, and the size of the affected area. The major effects of climate change on water systems take place through changes in the hydrological cycle, basically the balance between temperature, and rainfall. Whilst some regions may have higher rainfalls this can evaporate through sustained increases in temperature... Read more [...]

Humans Change the World! Where do we stand with fresh water? Will there be enough for a more crowded world?

Dominique — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:30:03 +0000
Sandra Postel, founder of the Global Water Policy Project, is recognized as one of the world's most respected authorities on fresh water issues and is hailed for her "inspiring, innovative, and practical approach" to promoting the preservation and sustainable use of Earth’s freshwater. For more than 25 years, Postel has lectured, taught, and written prolifically on the geography of water stress and the implications for food and agriculture... Read more [...]

What’s under our feet? The Earth’s structure is a bit like an egg. Did you know?

Dominique — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:58:30 +0000
The Earth's structure is a bit like an egg. Did you know? To be clear in our explanation of what cause "Climate Change" and what it's have to do with us, we need to start with the real beginning: Planet Earth. Everything happen there and to grasp what is our challenge we need to know exactly what we are talking about. Physical life start and finish here. "In the very beginning of earth's history, this planet was a giant, red hot, roiling, boiling sea of molten rock - a magma ocean. Read more [...]
