The early morning call of the neighborhood song birds has me alert to the first inklings of light, and I am out of bed.
Waking up my body and calling out some creature noises myself, I step outside for a fresh breath, and to gaze at the radiance of the rising sun.…

All Hallow's Eve, 2020
The neighbourhood gathers at dusk in the apple orchard, where a large bonfire of fallen branches from the surrounding forest has been put together. The fire hazard at other times of the year means that it is very important to clean this debris wood up. As well, the bonfire has been placed in a large pit, allowing us to also place large metal barrels in the fire, in which we can pyrolize some of this debris wood for use as Biochar in the… Continue

An Elder Speaks... The Ecology of Heart
"As I have journeyed here upon the Earth in this lifetime, I have seen the many developments our society has made, first as we were making great gains in our
scientific understanding of Nature while consuming it, and then, gradually,
putting our knowledge and technologies to use as we regenerated the land and
waters while…

Preparedness through Outrage... and Diversity of Information?
So, I am going to look at a couple of different statements. This is one from "How do People React in a Pandemic?":
"If it is a pandemic wave causing mild disease and low death rates, research on people’s reactions to the risk of infection,
possible death and a more severe outbreak provides important guidelines
for journalists covering this story."
And this one, from "Covering Risk":
"The most powerful way to get people to take precautions is to mobilize and… Continue

Resourcing the Herbalists
2020 is here, and the Northern Rivers Flu has moved out of the rural areas in to the Greater Vancouver Region. I am communicating, coordinating, and collaborating with the Herbalist community of the City, the Province, and the Country.
In its first days of development, the NRF was conventionally treated in Canada's Northern rural areas with anti-virals and vaccines. The growing number of holistic clinics and community herbalists though were also taking part, using knowledge about… Continue

Passive Hydro Refridgeration
As I have been considering the source of energy to be used as my alternative for this mission, my attention was continually drawn to the creek that runs behind the house, as the most accessible and formidable source of energy available. How to use it, though...

Nutritional Security: Tech or Folk?
I decided to look further into the following article on WomenWatch:

Along with considerations as to what I would do for this mission, I had also been considering how I would make a contribution to the newly begun 'Evolver Social Movement', which has birthed out of two web-projects I am involved with, the 'Reality Sandwich' on-line magazine and the 'Evolver' social networking site.

Harvesting a Future
April 2, 2020
Yesterday, our kayak caravan arrived at a beach on the Pacific Northwest coastline, where 3 years before, we grew a
beneficial microbial culture in a near-by harbour, with the intention of
remediating the toxicity of xeno-estrogens that had built up from the
superfluous plastics in the Pacific Ocean.
Hoping to be able and harvest the abundant herring roe now collecting on the coastal seaweed,
we use an assortment of sensory,… Continue

A Hero, A Guide
I am choosing Marko Pogacnik as my Hero to follow, and perhaps to connect with.
I first became aware of Marko early in my 'journey', when I first left University and the desire to be a Church Minister to learn more about Organic Farming and Sustainable Living. I was staying at a homestead on the Dorrigo Plaeteau in Australia, where I was helping to install some backyard irrigation, supplying my helping hands in the kitchen,… Continue

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
