    Nope I have not! Closest thing I've heard of is "managed grazing"... It think the biggest advantages are: -requires less attention (in the long run), but more understand (which eventually leads to care) of the whole system, bring our attention to quality over quantity -brings the farming practices back to viewing and working with the...

    It clarifies the actual longevity/life span of food which translates to better understanding the potential value certain foods have to our body. It also makes me less hesitant to buy produce w/ "best by" or "use by" dates that are near.  Acting in accordance to the "expiration date" rather than the other's listed...

    I have heard of this!  I appreciate Drawdown's emphasis that this is a "bridge" solution and that it should really only be considered a solution if it's from waste from perennials (thereby encouraging replacing annuals w/ perennials).  I learned that there have been emission studies on miscanthus and willow short rotation coppice.....

    I try to walk as much as I can and lucky my work schedule and life are flexible enough to allow me to do so. The ebike is super easy to ride and with that extra e-help, I would be able to go to meetings (where I try to avoid the sweaty look) via bike, without looking like I just biked!

    less transportation of food by purchasing locally, and organic!
  • April 11 at 11:39 AM
    BC and other GHGE mostly negatively affects areas inhabited by people who may not have the resources to move out of those areas and to address the medical externalities of BC and GHGE as well as climate change in general. These issues matter to me because I care about justice and not having access to clean, breathable air and livable...
