Part Two: and then I grew up… or did I?
I’m still in San Antonio.
And becoming increasingly fascinated by this opportunity to observe and be a part of North American society, as well as European and South American societies. Specifically, I find it interesting to see the levels of comparative awareness about social, environmental and economical issues, expressed in living styles and customs. I have during the last six months spent five weeks in Spain, six…

Part One; on how I came to look at the world from a different perspective.
I’m in San Antonio, Texas, visiting my aging (89 this year), and ailing stepfather Jack; this may be my last visit. Jack was born in 1924, in Glen Falls, upper New York State. Jacks Grandfather had a farm that Jacks father was eventually going to inherit; three generations living together. On the side, in…

Free energy, increased soil fertility, and CO2 sequestration thanks to BioChar made from agricultural waste. Let us tell you how and why.
“Biochar is a solid material obtained from the carbonisation of biomass. Biochar may be added to soils with the intention to improve soil functions and to reduce emissions from biomass that would otherwise naturally degrade to greenhouse gases.

What’s Missing?
We are in the middle of a paradigm shift, a collapse of the old and emergence of something new; a more social and humane business is replacing business as usual, environmental awareness about our planets’ finite resources is replacing the rampant consumerism of post WW2, and modern technology brings the plight of the hungry and poor to our living rooms and now, to our IPhones. We have the knowledge, the information, even the technology to right the many wrongs;…

ALLOYCE GITAHI WANGUI said… Morning,its another beautiful day here in Nairobi,our capital city of Kenya.The weather is sunny and the birds are chirping their sweet melodies songs to wake the sleeping bosses.
Thank you for getting back to me on time.My songs are inspiring songs to our communities especially to Kenyan youth to engage in more developing things than engaging themselves in immoral things.
Our country is in the hearing process because of the post election violence that hit the country in 2008.We have another election early next year.Currently i am preaching peace to youths who get used by rich businessmen and politicians.
Due to lack of sponsors i do have a lot of difficulties to travel to major places because i use public means to rotate in our country which becomes very expensive to me.
Never the less,communication via emails are good but not the best.I would suggest for an invitation to your country so that we would chat direct and also grow the open world community another level.My phone numbers are (+254)722248743.

Maria Jose Fuertes Sapena said… Christer,
Thanks for the welcome. I am excited to have discovered this site.
I so much agree with your statement, "it will be easier to develop sensible answers in a community of like-minded individuals working to find solutions together."
I believe the Earth needed the internet to come about when it did in order to prevent planet desecrating/human-erasing catastrophies. This site is definitely going to reverse the past momentum of destructive, selfish, single bottom-line thinking.
Permaculture or bust!
cheers,
