I live in a small village near Helmstedt, Germany and happily there aren´t huge food security problems in my region, but of course there are some in Germany.
As I read a few days ago, there are nearly 3.000.000 children in Germany suffering famine and/or poverty, I was shocked as I read the article, because I´ve never thought of such a huge number of starving children in Germany, so during this task I checked some projects or organizations which already help fighting against hunger (especially in Germany).
For example there is an organization called "Children for a better World e.V.", which was founded in 1994 and is caring about children and teens in Germany to help them taking responsibility for their own life, their future and others.
The organization doesn´t only rely on money, but also on their contacs and ideas helping them to find solutions for social problems all over the world, so the idea behind this organization isn´t new, but I think it´s a very good idea not to only focus on the hunger aspect, but to help the children building networks, taking responsibility for their life and showing them the importance of caring for others, too.

A rather new (and kind of innovative) solution is a foundation called "Deutschland Rundet Auf" and the principle behind it is not only pretty effective, but also very simple and there are already many organizations, shops, supermarkets etc. that partner with them.
Every time your bill (for example in a supermarket) is 5,03 € the only thing you have to do is rounding up so that you pay 5.10 € in the end (the maximum sum rounded up in the end is 0.10 €, so that really doesn´t hurt anybodys purse, but the total sum can make a huge difference ;-) ).

There are some projects the foundation supports, you can check them and get more information on their website http://www.deutschland-rundet-auf.de , I for one absolutely love the idea and think it´s kinda innovative.

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. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

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.
