True Greens

Highly Recommended

I am all for the environment and for “healing” the earth.  After all, I did environmental science 40 years ago when it was not popular and having worked in the chemical industry I know that responsible green policies are necessary.  So I am not against “Greens” and I don’t think anyone else is.  What I a against is political Marxist ideologies disguised as environmental policies.  Neither am I for unbridled capitalist-corporate rape and pillage.   We do need to do things differently and it does not need to cost a fortune or destroy our lives.  We need to live more in harmony with the world.  Here is one such cheap and effective solution that is making a big difference.   The climate change agenda is bunkum.   You can’t stop the changes but you can adapt.   We are being lied to.  We need less BUNK and more BUNDS.

A genius way to restore dead soil (10 min)

 

Did you know that soil is home to 60% of all species on Earth? Soil is vital for plant growth, supports biodiversity, filters water, and keeps ecosystems balanced. But in Kenya, worsening droughts have left the soil damaged and dry, threatening both nature and local communities. In our 20th Planet Wild mission, we’re supporting a surprisingly simple method to help transform these barren lands into thriving ecosystems. A special thanks to Dr. Rob Thompson / University of Reading for providing us with additional footage. Chapters

Food Production

Global Food Production will be anywhere near where it has been over the last five years. There are now fertilizer, herbicide, equipment and labor shortages coupled with rising diesel and food prices. These events will amplify in 2022 ending in rationing and life changing choices moving forward.

Food Solutions

It is time for us to all participate in a distributed food system — not one of centralized control — and there are many parts to play: from aquaponics, to rabbits, to goats, to chickens, ducks, and quail, to mushrooms, soil husbandry, to spirulina, to crickets and mealworms, to dry farming, to urban coops, to creating web sites for local farmers, to lawyers changing the overly restrictive regulatory frameworks, to …! YOU ARE NEEDED NOW! Trust the Plant!
