Pullin the "Me" Card.
So, I'm pulling the "Me" card. Not me in the sense of my own person, but in everything that I am doing, and in the many contacts that I have made through my time here, especially in the last 6 months. Water's my thing, and I'm trying to work towards understanding it better, and in finding solutions both on a local and global scale for the growing water crisis. I've attended several conferences on water (the most recent being here at McGill, wherein all of the GREAT lecturers can be viewed at http://www.mcgill.ca/water2010/video/ - and I encourage you to watch some of them, for anyone interested in water). But beyond this, I am also "sacrificing" a semester - you'll see why I use quotations in a moment - to study water sustainability on an international scale, taking on a Field Semester to track sustainable resource management practices in a country plagued with growing water issues. Just because said country happens to be Barbados, somehow I lose people here... haha But really, I'm taking this very seriously, and the location matters not, I'd go even if it were in Antarctica! So, while I cant fully explain things yet (I need to go and DO it first) I feel like for the moment, this is my best effort that I can put forth on the water issue, as I continue to meet new people in the field, read extensively on the subject, and join in with fellow Evoker's who are working on issues on their own local scale. I'm very easy to approach! and would love to talk to you about all sorts of water strategies and ideas. I have access to a LOT of information ;) Might as well share it!

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

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.
