Plant Medicine Knowledge Box
I have found reports about indigenous people in South America using plants for medicine and healing. One tribe, called the Yąnomamö, are known for their huge botanical knowledge and use roughly 500 plants for food, medicine, and house building. If I were to make an object representing this knowledge, I would construct a large hollow wooden box with leaves and herbs hand-carved on the sides and lid. People would be able to write what they know about plant medicines and put them in the box for…

Emergency Dark Site
If I were to make an emergency dark site, I would have it prepared in the case of a food shortage around the world. I would:
- Have tips on how to conserve and ration food equally
- Information about how to grow/farm your own food
- Give contact details of people who could help with food and medical problems, such as an ambulance
- FAQ's: I would set up a page where people can ask questions and give ideas, as well as notify the public about any action they are…

Christchurch Map 2020
In 2020, I think Christchurch will have many more parks, and 'green' areas. There will be a lot of eco-friendly buildings, and all of Christchurch will be more eco-friendly. All structures will be earthquake-strengthened and we will be prepared in the case of another earthquake. Christchurch has had many rebuilds and new structures built in the community, although Christchurch is not fully rebuilt yet. There will be nearly no pollution in the wh*** Canterbury region.

Mainly resilience plans for Christchurch include rebuilding earthquake-damaged structures, and building new earthquake-proof buildings around the city. Also there are plans to make Christchurch a more eco-friendly city, with more parks and sustainable buildings.

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.
