Two problems tackled at once - The International Social Service Oraganization
Here is infomation from India about a organization ( International Social Service Oragnisation ) that is solvign two problems at one time , first human sanitation and second some energy production. This is good stuff! Peace, Michael
We've pointed to a number of innovations that use farm animal wastes as the feedstock for energy production. In India, where a "quiet sanitary revolution" is providing toilets for people who don't have access to them (nearly 2/3 of the country's population), human wastes are being used to create electricity. Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, a group involved in the distribution of both standard toilets and "pay and use" community facilities, has added an innovative feature to its cheap, water-efficient comfort stations (shown above): an energy plant --
Sulabh's systems often come with an innovative modification: the attachment of a biogas plant. Through these plants, human waste produces biogas that, when mixed with diesel fuel, can power electrical devices such as streetlights. A similar technique of wet-sanitation is being replicated elsewhere in India by groups like BORDA.While we don't know what percentage of electricity generated by other means could be replaced by "humanure," the concept itself is brilliant. A bit of digging into Sulabh's website shows not only that the organization has engaged in wide range sanitation efforts, but also that it recognizes and addresses the relationship of sanitation facilities to public health and economic development, as well as to environmental concerns. ::The Christian Science Monitor

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

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.
