Act1.5 My Chosen Mentor ~ Jane McGonigal, Master GameDesigner and Action Woman
Hearty Greetings
This is my second time around Evoke
so I've decided to choose a different mentor than the one I followed last year and continue to do so, Alexandra Morton who is still going strong to save our wild salmon here on the west coast, I'm writing the letters and still doing what I can to support her. But a very soon time after I started playing Evoke, I added another mentor to my list.… Continue

Learn1.5 A World in Transition ~ Sharing on A Small Island
I've chosen the idea of Sharing for Food Security.
Living on a small island for the most part as I do, we already have a very tight-knit community of wonderful caring people who come together for all sorts of project or parties. A call for a meeting regarding Transition Town in our newsletter caught my eye: Quadra Island Transtion Initiative http://www.quadraisland.ca/transition/index.html

ACT2 Buying Local Fresh Food Isn't Easy in Spring
UPDATE 20100515: I tried again to buy local veggies from our Sat Community market but none available again. I'll just have to try best I can to buy local products as close to home as I can until the gardens have grown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I made a promise with myself to go all out and only buy local fresh food on our small island here once the Saturday community market opened. I was there first thing on opening day... and all I could find was rhubarb… Continue

ACT1 WAKE UP CANADA
UPDATE: 20100512: I gave this a lot of thought, and it just keeps happening that the more I read the more I am dismayed we let this get so out of hand. And I'm reading both sides. The Salmon sellers say no probs, the companies say no probs, but the young salmon (smolts) are dying or disappearing so their silent voice says it all to me. Did you know they DYE the farmed salmon PINK so you'll think it's tasty??? Did you know they ship smaller fish from Chili to feed their fish here (besides…

LEARN1 Social Innovation
To be a Social Innovator I believe as many do that one must listen to the people and respect their culture and way of life, and only then will the trickle-down complications to solutions of problems be understood.
We must understand the problem right down to the nitty details; too often a problem is discovered and the solution races to mind.
Sometimes the problem isn't the problem, it's someone's solution to fix a problem. Read that…

ACT1 Wish Me Luck
I've never marched in a protest before, so this is a first.
Tomorrow I'll be on a bus load of Quadra Islanders driving 4 hours to be with Alexandra Morton in Victoria and march to the Parliament Buildings to bring awareness that the open-net fish farm industry must get out of the waters.
I hardly know what to pack for such an event except I'll be wearing my marching shoes and bring my loudest voice. Wish me luck.…

ACT4 OpenNet Fish Farms Are Spoiling Our Waters
After following Alexandra Morton, my hero who I've been shadowing lately as part of Act1 exercise to find a mentor, I found the more I learned about what she was doing about the issues faced with wildlife and water quality due to the abundance of open-net fish farms being allowed on salmon migration routes, and the way they pump the salmon with drugs to kill off the lice. The more I understand now why she is so passionate about doing something to get the fish farms out of our waters and on to… Continue

ACT5 Money Isn't Everything
I won a prize today for a contest that Bridges ran, and the first thing I did was to donate the prize back to Bridges for their students to have a prize draw, their staff to have something nice given to them, or to save as a Silent Auction prize. I did this the last time I won a prize and will probably always give them something back whenever I can. And this is not to say I didn't like winning the prize, I LOVE winning and always try for the brass ring. If I get it, fantastic, and if I don't… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. 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
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. 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
public servants
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.
